[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. He tested in with math back in fourth grade and his 7th grade science and social studies teachers recommended him for 9th grade classes. There’s a bunch of kids who do this so they’re grouped together in the same classes. I do like the idea of him being with these presumably harder working kids. We live in ny. Is this not commonly done in the dc area? I figured it was a standard middle school thing.[/quote] Yeah, it’s common. Certain kids, especially in math and science, are advanced to 9th grade classes otherwise they won’t get in both AP calculus classes and AP sciences. Both my kids took Biology and Algebra, 9th grade classes, in middle school. But they didn’t have ADHD or any organization issues. They were ready and responsible for these classes. If you do let your son advance, you will have to help him stay on top of his work and teach him to be more responsible. It’ll be a lot of work for you. [/quote]
