This is exactly why I've been trying to have dd grade skipped this year.

Grade skip did not solve this issue for us, either. The challenges of grade-skip have been "I have no friends" and "I write more slowly than the rest of the kids," but very little "this work requires more effort of me."

Grade skip solved the "I'm bored and miserable in class" problem, but not the "I can get high As without significant effort" problem.
