For DD7 there is no easy answer. There are a lot of politics at play for any special services in the district.
I absolutely think they are subject accelerating a group of a few agemates under the guise of enrichment. However, it is in an isolated classroom, not with the next grade students. The other kids have a different enrichment schedule.

Keep talking through your situation, you will find the right path.
