[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is a rising 3rd grader, and I would like to have her considered for skipping a grade.  Not looking for feedback about this choice, just looking for logistical information on how to start this process.  Does the school principal need to sign off on it?  I know they do NOT encourage this process, so I certainly don't see anything about it on the DCPS website.  Is there a test?[/quote]

I have not seen this happen once in our very pushy parent upper NW ES.  But what we did do was take our oldest to BASIS (starts in fifth) and because she had contact with the teachers thru an after school program once accepted, AND because she tested well, she is in Algebra i and well on her way to their G&T track which will allow her to leave a year early.....

I do think skipping a grade in the same school is very tricky for the kids

You can really supplement and open their horizons at home and in museums here...  That is what we did, we are also preparing our other kids to handle the math[/quote]
