When D1 was a senior, there was a very bright 9th grader in her AP Physics class. The boy was taking a math course one level above D1. They all treated the 9th grader well, but they did have to watch what they said in front of him. Sometimes when some students got out of line with some teasing, someone always stepped in. I think it was the case because it's a small school where everyone knew each other. The 9th grader stayed with his peers for homeroom, sports and other electives. It was the best of both world for him. D1's school offered enough advance courses for him to be intellectually challenged at least until he was Junior, and he was able to socialize with kids his age. Since D1 graduated I don't know whether the kid graduated early.
