[quote=Anonymous]I would talk to the target school and discuss where he is academically and the program at the new school looks like. Chances are, reading and writing will be tailored to his level anyway, math depend on how and whether they differentiate at this grade and where your child is relative to the new school's curriculum (they may not align and you never know which way that goes). As for other social studies track between the two schools at all so everything there will probably be new. This also allows you to get a feel for the social dynamics between the two grades (sometimes a class is mature and skews old or is immature and skews young). My DC was in a class of relatively immature for age kids while the grade a above was very mature for age, so that the gap between them was larger than normal. Only the school can tell you what these two classes are like. Also they may have an opinion based on class personalities which will be a better fit for your child.[/quote]
