What about asking current school to declare her a 6th grader and look to start her as a 7th grader in September. 1 year skip plus gifted program in a fancyish district might be perfect.
Her PRI is a full st deviation above normal and it is the least used subscale in school. Try Wikipedia and Pearsons for more details on PRI. Also don't leave her in the wild with only a bottle cap a safety pin and a newspaper. (( humor alert))
Get her application to DYS going, ok?

This makes me wish we weren't moving until the summer--then I might do just that. But I think socially the transition from the tiny (14 kids in 4th/5th grade class) school to the 800 student school might make the transition to the gigantic middle school easier in the fall. I think the one year skip might be great. I wonder if the current school would declare her a 6th grader? And what do I do with her this spring? The current plan is to have the kids start school the first wek of March. don't say homeschool...haha! I guess I should also really look at the IAS?
OK--will not procrastinate or be a perfectionist about the DYS app. And I will keep that in mind about the wilderness! (actually--that explains a lot--about both of us, I think, lol!)
Thanks ya'll! This forum is truly a marvelous place.
