[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t do it without a full WISC, or something similar. I would want to know that she was really high on at least some the important sub tests. I would also have a tutoring center, like Huntington Learning Center, assess her math to ensure she doesn’t have any holes in her learning. Their business model is to find things wrong so they can charge you for tutoring. If a tutoring center says they can’t find gaps, then you can rest assured that there aren’t any at that level. That being said, skipping grades is usually not good for kids socially. Ask your teacher to weigh in on that as well. I have only ever met one kid who would have been well-served by skipping, so I would proceed with caution. - former teacher[/quote]
