DD5 skipped mid-year into K at a small private school. She's now in 1st, but it's hard to say what that means. She's doing 2nd grade spelling, and will soon be in 2nd grade math. She's grade-level for reading, but many years ahead in verbal ability. We're afterschooling some math for fun (Beast Academy) but she's still frustrated by the mechanics of adding and subtracting. Because the school is so small, she gets to socialize with kids of all ages.

Bottom line: Small school with flexible attitude is saving our bacon.
