We had arranged for a 1-grade skip in math (skipping grade 3); I took care of those gaps beforehand. Due to scheduling problems another unexpected full-year skip may be necessary (skipping all the way to grade 5 as a just turned 8 year old).
I haven't prepped the extra year skip, but he probably knows some 90% of the material dealing with calculations and concepts that would be skipped. What I don't know is whether he has all the problem solving skills that would be taught (and skills in "showing your work" and so forth). And there may be other gaps I haven't envisioned.
I don't want to set DS up to fail, or for problems down the road. But I do want him to have peers.
