Welcome! WOW on those scores! Can I have some of that WMI and PSI??? Pretty please! I could use some lol.

WHile I haven't read this book, it sounds like a good resource. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art40135.asp
It's available to read large portions at googlebooks.

No one can answer questions about your kid b/c there are too many variables. Is your kid self-driven? Needs a little push? Is he good at challenging himself in his mind? Achievement up there w/ IQ? then every district, school, teacher is different. how willing will they be to partner with you? Will your DS have peers at the school with which to interact? Also, I really tried not to advance DS in areas that the school would be teaching so while he didn't necessarily have all the academics in place for 1yr grade skip, my thought was that the pace would still be too slow. It would be slightly higher content delivered the same way which didn't mesh well with HIS learning style. So many variables to consider. Some VERY HG+ kids do just fine in PS, some need multiple grade skips and subject acceleration and w/ those accommodations do just fine, others need HSing, some need HG+ gifted schools....so much depends more on personality rather than IQ scores.
