Thanks Trinity. You're right, and I'm going to try again to get some improvements this year.

We may move to the local schools next year. I talked with the principal of our neighborhood school and she suggested bringing my son for a visit in November. They'll assess him and make a decision about a grade skip. I'll try to get him tested by then. We'll see.

I know that they have to think about test scores and might have concerns that a person skipping a grade would have lower scores. He's already doing the 4th grade work now (we're thinking of skipping grade 3). So if we can allay their concerns, they might be more enthusiastic.
