... they also place the students where the need to be placed regardless of age/grade without grade skipping.
I was wondering anybody else has had experiences with such a small school and your thoughts as to how this could be a good thing or a bad thing.
Our DS (7) is in a small school of a similar makeup. It allows for a child to be placed in whatever "level" they test into, but doesn't account for "rate" of learning. In other words, once placed into a higher grade, the child continues at the same pace of instruction as all the kids in that grade. As I'm sure you know, that isn't always the pace at which your child can move, so boredom and learning to underachieve are a threat.
