Kriston, We are really stuck with our assigned home school if we chose public schools. There are few exceptions for reassignment to other schools and they are usually undesired schools. We can't afford private so it doesn't leave many options. The principal being reluctant to grade skip I think is due to two things 1) her not believing in it and 2) the district not have any set criteria for it, but rather leaving it up to the principal. I think she would rather err on the side of caution. I think if we could come back from homeschooling at some point and there was a set criteria used to determine what grade she should be placed in, that would be easier for the principal. Maybe though I'm just wishful thinking.
