I guess you need to decide how you are going to approach this. Yes, if you let him continue to move on he will have that much more trouble with classes if something isn't done for the future. At the same time if something isn't done you have a child who is underchallenged, bored, and who knows what else? I also can't see how a child would progress socially if they are doing all their own independent work rather than whatever the class is doing. This is where we are running into trouble again to a certain extent with my DD9. She is now catching up and surpassing her classmates in Language Arts, so we are considering again what to do for next year. We held her to fifth in ELA as the plan for this year because of the socialization. But that will definately change again for next year. So we will have to see what the school plans to offer. I know it's neither here nor there but my DD's scores aren't that different than your son's, so the potential is definately there.
