I don't think either of those choices sounds appealing at all.

Have you ever considered homeschooling or self-paced virtual schooling? Is there some reason why this would be impossible for your family? If you are sending him to school for the social aspect, there are plenty of opportunities for homeschooled kids to socialize with other children, and with scores this high, it is really unlikely that you are going to find a school that is going to move at the pace and intensity that he will probably want to go at.

It might only need to be a temporary situation, until he reaches an age where the schools will admit and place him based on achievement level, not age.
