DS7 is definitely proud with some ego involvement in anticipation of his skip; so, he has taken ownership of addressing possible academic gaps himself this summer (mostly writing.) After school stuff as well as full gifted classrooms aren't available until third; so, the skip is as much tactical in that way as anything else. I don't know about top X% and such and am not sure the school reports or presents things in that manner. Guess will see how the next phase of this crazy experiment called parenting works out.
