Welcome!
The school you have picked sounds cool. I like the idea of letting him stay home next year - I think he's aware enough that the agemates at his preschool aren't really peers. I had a kid who got into trouble a lot in preschool, but no one even thought of getting him assessed, because we all believed that being 'smart' couldn't possibly be a reason for a kid to be clowning around.
It can. It would be nice if you could find him some kids his own age who are really peers for him to play with from time to time. You may have some cousins who have similar kids, or look into your state gifted association. Some local families will be homeschooling and just assuming that their kids are advanced because of the homeschooling. You can also try local kid's chess clubs, or any activity where you can meet families who have younger sibling that might be a match for yours. Ask the educational psychologist how local gifted families find each other.
Keep reading and posting. Welcome!
