I really want to skip a grade but I don't know what I have to do to make it happen. I have really good grades in all my subjects. I don't think I have anything lower than a 95. I've been tested for gifted and the results come back just slightly above average but what I dont understand is that everytime a take a different test such as the FCAT which is the statewide test or the SRI (Scholastic Reading Inventory) tests, I always score about three grades above what the average student should score to be on grade level. I don't think you have to be in gifted to skip a grade though. I've only gone to public school for 1 year so far and this is my second so in case that has anything to do with it. So anyone who knows please help!!!

I also don't want to push it. My parents say they will only let me skip if the administrators confront me because then that will show that I am capable. I'm in the 7th grade and in Florida in case that helps.

It's very different from school to school, I'd suggest talking to your guidance counselor and parents about why and if you should skip a grade. Skipping a grade isn't just about you being smart, you also need to be able to make up all of that work and knowledge that you're going to miss. Especially in subjects like Math, where you constantly build on previous knowledge, skipping grades can be a fairly bad idea.
If, after careful thought, you still want to go through with it, then the only way would be through asking someone in your administration, probably a guidance counselor or a dean perhaps. Usually they don't allow people to skip grades unless you're below high school, but even if you are at the high school level there is still the possibility of graduating early.

I skipped the 2d, which of direction isn't as huge of a deal as skipping as severe a grade because the seventh. i presumed it became quite cool at the starting up. there have been 2 huge negative aspects, although. the first became that an finished 12 months of my life became lengthy gone with the contract. the 2d became that it made me truly overconfident in myself. i presumed i'd by no ability might want to attempt problematical and that i'd get each and every thing perfect away. i did not attempt so problematical in math (my toughest subject) as I must have, fantastically contained in the 10th grade when I took Algebra II. yet nevertheless, you're probable previous adequate to no longer be as naive as i became decrease back then and also you would possibly want to probable manage it extra useful. I form of wish i did not pass a grade yet I did so i don't think of I might want to inform you now to not. i imagine the substantial benefit is (of direction) being waiting to say that you skipped a grade. it truly is nearly a huge element (sorry if i'm sounding smug.) So i'd say to imagine it over. reliable luck.

I'd talk to your guidance conselor about it because in different states the rules are different. In Texas, where I live, you can only graduate early if you take classes in the summer and have a certain number of high school credits. Isnt the FCAT in florida? I used to live there but I dont know the policy on skipping a grade.

depends on how old you are
if you are in high school you are out of luck b/c most, if not all, public schools have a set of requirements that you must fulfill to graduate: 4 years english, 3 years math, etc.
You could take some extra classes to graduate early.
If your not in high school ask your parents about it... see if they will have a talk with some school officials about you.
If that doesn't work, take pride that you are the smartest in your class.
