I agree, if you find a few kids your child is well matched with that's a great thing.
Negativity alert:
DD8 just had another achievement eval. I don't see how skipping one grade will matter when her lowest score is 3 grade levels ahead.
She has at least 3 well matched peers in class, and I like what they are doing as a small group.
DD5 hasn't had achievemet test yet, but she has brief moments of brilliance.....ON HER OWN TERMS!!!!!
She absolutely refuses to perform on command.
At the tender age of five she has learned that she doesn't have to do anything she is not interested in by smiling sweetly and saying "I can't do that".
