Agreed. "EG/PG" is our description which is really only used in instances where it is useful or necessary for us to differentiate our DD from her MG peers.

I don't know whether or not our DD is "PG" by any numerical measure.

I do know that she seems to be based on her functional characteristics, and she is every bit as different from MG peers as those peers are from normative/average-ability peers.

Simply accelerating isn't really the route to a great school fit, even for kids like mine who are reasonably even in their skill set and readiness level. But it is often the least-worst option, for sure.

The other thing is that you don't really know until you try. That goes for acceleration, homeschooling, afterschooling, in-class differentiation, etc. Pretty much universal.
