I'm touring a highly gifted elementary school in a couple of weeks, but that doesn't start until 2nd -- which we are willing to hold out for. Kinda of tricky though since we don't technically live in LA. The program (only 2 classes within a resident school) can only take kids who have been tested by LAUSD and because of recent budgets cuts as of this year, a kid can only be tested if they are a LAUSD student. We would need to figure out how to maneuver this.
We're not overly keen on grade skip because he is afraid of things and doesn't like to play pretend "fighting" games with the other boys. He is pretty advanced on all subjects for subject acceleration to work. But, things can't always be perfect and we realize that you have to accept the circumstance.
