He's registered as a Kindergartener but he's only in that class for lunch and recess. His schedule looks like high school. He moves from class to class each day at many different grade levels. Next year he is set to be skipped to 4th grade full time with pullouts for recess with the 1st grade and 6th for math.
Different classes for different subjects would have been a problem at our public school. There are only 2 or 3 grades in each building and my son would have had no way to get to the other buildings.
This was one of the reasons the special ed director/educational psychologist at our school said it would be difficult to make accommodations for my son. He seemed unable or unwilling to think outside the box to find a way to allow my son an appropriate education and our state law does not require it for twice exceptional kids like mine.
When we asked about part time schooling so that my son could learn things like higher level math that I might have trouble teaching him or band or maybe even a literature class where my son could listen to and participate in class discussions, and then homeschooling all the rest, we were told it was not allowed.
I think it is for the best now that we had to homeschool. We went to a school carnival last night that was open to the public and most of the kids I saw who ranged in age from kindergarten to high school age acted like my son on red dye number 40. I had a hard time imagining these kids ever being calm enough to learn. But most of them are good in sports and that is what really counts where we live.
Now that my son is almost 11, I notice that more than a few of the boys who are 3 and 4 years older are close to six feet tall, a foot taller than my son, and from what I have heard from my son's friends who are several years older than he is, there are bullies to deal with and some of the kids, especially the football players who are treated like royalty at the school, are really rude. I would worry about my son's safety as well as his self esteem if he were in school with these kids.
