He could always take the EXPLORE (8th grade test) through talent search next year as a 3rd grader. I don't know what more you'd get from it but possibly his school would be willing to further subject accelerate or provide added enrichment if he aces it. Dd10 (5th grader) has one 4th grade student in her 6th grade math class. It isn't unheard of to do multiple grade subject acceleration in math. Other than one school that subject accelerated dd12 in literacy, math is actually the only subject for which we've ever had a school offer subject acceleration.
