Has your school used the Iowa Acceleration Scale to help discuss and evaluate factors for likely success of the grade skip? .
. They did not use this scale. Kiddo did take Iowa algebra aptitude test before they said yes to Algebra next year but my guess that after hearing teachers comments and looking into her scores/assessments in all subjects principle felt like this is the best option for her. In theory she is a perfect candidate for another skip. She passed this math test without any preparation and not knowing what to expect, her comprehension at 12th grade level, she is amazing speller, loves science (chemistry, physics, geology). Loves programming (into Java and 3D design... Maturity level and class work ethic is well above her age... SFrog actually verbalized my fares exactly! This fear is more emotional than fact driven!
