<p>My son skipped 6th grade because the curriculum we used was largely repetitive for 6th grade and he had a good grasp on the subjects already. He has excelled and will start classes at community college (dual enrollment) next fall at the age of 15. I would recommend that you make your decision based on your childs personality and interests. If your child is not being challenged at their current grade, and is fairly independent, then advancing to a more challenging level or AP classes is a reasonable step. If your child is very social and being in the same grade as peers is important, then I would either avoid this step or discuss it thoroughly with them before taking this step. Whatever you decide, enjoy every minute.</p>
