I see my DS9 as young for his age and needs to stay with his peers for the most of the day. I think he should do an online course for math and/or science and test early or test out of some of the other work that he doesn't need so many repetitions. maturity would be an issue for managing the online course but not so much the work. He has so many interests that if he gets out of something that should free him up to do something more meaningful like learn an instrument or an independent study. I am not against him moving up for some classes but this is probably a scheduling issue. I am concerned that some of the classes he would move up for it still would not be enough it would be too slow. There is also concern about being prepared for older grade expectations.

I'm thinking this school is just not going to see the light so easily. I'm trying to think baby steps. My son does better with a little change at a time too.
