Answer 2

I grew up with an IQ of 144 and had great grades all though out elem/middle/and high school. I was always in gifted program and accelerated honors courses. I never skipped a grade and am very, very happy about that. High school is hard enough as it is and the social inequality of being smarter and younger then the rest of your peers may be enough to discourage one from feeling free to demonstrate their true talent. I say if she is happy leave her in her own grade with her friends and just make sure to challenge her mentally when she is home to supplement what she may not get in the classroom. If she starts to become too bored with her schoolwork and education then you may want to have a chat with her about skipping a grade. A girl that smart will be able to give you some surprising answers on what she thinks. But as her parent I'm sure you already know that.

Answer 3

It doesn't mean she's a genius, but it does put her into a range where her needs are kind of special.

At 11, I think she's old enough to have her own opinions, so you should talk to her and find out if she wants to skip a grade, and also to get whatever other support services you can. I know, you hear a lot about kids who get lonely because they get double-promoted and have to make all new friends, but I can also tell you from firsthand experience (mine was measured in the 140s when I was a few years younger than your daughter is now) and the experience of my friends that having it too easy and getting bored in class can lead to a range of other problems. If I had to choose now, I'd take the loneliness of skipping a grade over the boredom of having it too easy, because you can always make new friends, but not being challenged in high school doesn't prepare you properly for college or for life. My experience, and the experience of my friends, appears to suggest that being too far ahead of your contemporaries when you're young can lead to an awful lot of drifting and dissatisfaction later.

Answer 4

Yes she is very smart. My daughter is 12 and she scored a 142 on hers 2 years ago. I did not have her moved up a grade because of the fact that she is emotionally not ready.
You have to remember that at the preteen age one year makes a big difference emotionally. So make your judgement call based on her emotional ability to handle the pressure of being bumped up a grade.
Can she handle the extra work at a more independent level? How is she at fitting into a new group? If she is a shy girl then she may not make the transition well. These girls are already formed into their peer groups - does she know several girls already that would help her to adjust? or would they give her the cold shoulder because she is younger?
Talk to your daughter- she would be the biggest determining factor on whether you let her move up a grade.

Answer 5

I ve seen these programs straight mess kids up. Most of them just wanted to go to school and be like everyone else. She is obviously smart but let her be a kid. In high school this girl was gifted or whatever since 3rd grade she had no sociall skills becasue her parents were always dragging her off to show how smart she was. By her senior year she wished she could have just gone to class with everyone else and got good grades. You have a smart kid, the real test as a parent is passing on the values and respect. Thats what will make you proud.

Answer 6

It means you have a very smart and beautiful daughter who is gifted at learning.

If she is bored at school the best thing to do is to talk to her guidance counselor about her options (skipping a grade, special programs, etc.) But if she is happy and excelling you might want to consider letting well enough alone. Skipping a grade could make her uncomfortable socially and you need to keep that in mind during your decision.

An IQ number doesn't really mean a whole lot. What you need to worry about are if she is happy and well adjusted.

Answer 7

Well, you already "know" that your child is "gifted".

And your not asking for help, your just bragging, to the World about it. And utilizing this forum to do so.

As for skipping a grade, if the Educators think she should, then let her. IF they dont recommend it, because she may be immature about herself, then I would follow thier suggestion.

But, when she gets into 9th grade, I would definetely see about having her take college courses, instead of High School courses....

My Son is a high IQ and we found out that "he" could have taken College courses, but the school didnt let us "know" because it takes away from thier monies... (He did take it in his Senior Year, after it was too late for "them" to pay for it, as we did), so, look into it...

Ask your local College Guidance Councelor...

DO NOT ASK THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL COUNCELOR, as they will TELL YOU NO!

But, it can be done, and he can walk out of high school with an associate or bachelors degree!!

I wish you well..

Answer 8

She sounds very intelligent, but just keep in mind that she is just an 11 year old girl, don't rush her through life just because she is smart...she still needs to live a normal life. Ask her what she thinks about the whole situation, I am sure she has some feelings to share with you. Good luck!

Answer 9

It says she is doing very well. Don't push her or put any pressure on her to do more. You will burn her out. Let her go at her own pace. If she wants have her apply for some advance classes. Some that will really move her brain. You are a very lucky person. But remember only if she feels she's up to it.Good luck.

Answer 10

get her into a private school or a place where she can grow academically...trust me the last place for her to be is a public school that 1) can not properly keep her challenged and 2) doesn't show her and you all the opportunities for her because of her intelligence level.

Answer 11

She is very smart. You must have took out extra time with her when she was a infant and read and did all those things. God gave it to her you just helped her bring it out. She is Gifted.
