We decided not to skip our DS10. The principal offered to let him skip 6th this Fall, but our DS was really reluctant to leave his friends. He is also one of the youngest and smallest child in his grade.

When he was in 4th grade, he was really bored, but his close friends kept school 'fun' for him, and I worked with him on his math. Last year, 'armed' with his test results (WISC, WIAT, and SCAT), we were able to get him accelerated in math and science, but he stayed with his 5th grade class for everything else. He will have the same accommodation in the Fall, and we may be able to revisit the skip idea.
