But your example is entirely unrelated to a kid who is above grade in ALL subjects.  I find it highly unlikely that basis would block such a kid from skipping a grade. (Assuming socio- emotional skills are there).  [/quote]

Admins won't let kids take the comps to enable them to qualify to skip a grade.  The question has been asked in the past.  The answer has been no.[/quote]

It's exceptionally unlikely that any kid would be above grade in all subjects and already know most of the material for all subjects at a school like BASIS.  It's much more likely that any parents who asked for a grade skip have grossly overestimated their child's capabilities and school performance.  It is also highly likely that OP's kid is not bored because he's so advanced that he should be grade skipped.  He's either too addicted to electronics, is depressed, or isn't very interested in learning.

My kid skipped ahead 2 years in math and has an IQ over 145.  While the classes are on the easier side for him, he's still learning a ton, loves school, and is rarely bored.  [/quote]
