[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a rapid reader with a nearly photographic memory, can write and research appropriately, and is easily bored and under-worked in English courses where lots of other students are just messing around.  If math can be accelerated, why can't English?  Is the best we can do for DC to take AP Lang as a junior and AP Lit as a senior, or is there something earlier or better that is possible?[/quote]
What is your end goal here?   Take college English classes in HS?   [/quote]

No, just be challenged to learn to read, analyze, conduct research, and write at a truly college level - and start and practice doing that before senior year.[/quote]
College level writing should be covered in AP Lang Junior year.

As others said, look into RM and/or the Humanities magnets.

FYI I find that most truly gifted kids don't complain about being "bored" since they will come up with challenging tasks for themselves on their own in their subjects of interest.[/quote]
