Well, you posted other questions that you hear your dog talking, and another about your dog doing the moon-walk...
Your spelling isn't the best.. and since your 12.. that puts you in grade 6 or 7... I highly doubt that any school board would bump a child from that up to 9 or 10 regardless if your grades were perfect...

No school (in the US) allows anyone to skip 3 grades. Especially a 12 year old who can't spell "jealous" and "practically" or use punctuation.
Not that I think spelling and punctuation are that important (I couldn't care less) and they certainly aren't an indicator of how "smart" someone is, but it's tedious things like that that the education system are based on... and there's no way a school would ever let you skip that many grades without having a grasp on them. That being said, if you actually ARE telling the truth, then I'd recommend not skipping that many grades. It will make you the youngest in your grade (people will find that awkward and treat you as an outsider), and if you really value an education (and the tedious things that go with that), then you probably also value grammar and spelling, and I suggest you stay in the grade you're in and learn them.
But if you just want to get out of school fast, then go for it!

Skipping a grade is more than just having a challenging curriculum. Are going to be able to get along with the older kids better. Or do you think they will pick on you more?
Do you have a lot of friends in the grade you are in or do they give you grief for being smart?
I strongly reccommend you look at the opportunities for social potential -- Learning how to get along with others is important and having a social support network is a major part of surving your teen years.
At twelve -- having one or two really close friends is very important. Think about where you think you will be most likely to have a friend or two in your decision.
Also remember that I'm talking a bout friends not dates. A true friend is more important in the long run than a cute date.
I'm 40 and the three friends I made when I was 11 and 13 are still my best friends now. Even though we all live in different parts of the world we go to extra effort to keep up with each other --marriages, kids, different jobs -- all that has come and gone for each of us - but we are still best friends.
The education will happen no matter where you are - if you want to learn it will happen.
The friendship is an important part of what you are creating for your future.
Bright blessings and best of wishes on your decision.

For someone that is soooooo smart you sure do make a lot of spelling mistakes and have the worst sentence structure. I think you need to stay in the Grade you were . You don't even know how to use spell check. Somehow i don't think you are really being skipped a grade. If you are...God help the education system where you are

It is great that you are going to skip a few grades and be working at your level. You should know that the older kids that you will be in class with will have different interests than you do because of the age difference.
And while things are "super easy" for you in the grade you are now in, you may have to work harder when you are in the other class.
And -- I 'm not trying to be mean here --- you need to learn to proofread your work and correct your spelling. Otherwise, people will not believe that you are "super smart."

I think three grades is a lot to skip at once, even if you are ahead academically you will be behind emotionally and physically. It may be tougher on you than you think. I think if you skip one grade and see how you do it will be an easier adjustment. By the way, as an english major, if you are thinking of skipping ahead to high school i would suggest working on your spelling. I am not trying to be rude, it is just a suggestion, high school level teachers expect you to be able to spell a little better.
good luck

I think it is great that you are skipping grades, and that you don't want to give up what would benefit you for any of the other kids. But, one thing you SHOULD think about is moving that far up is a HUGE adjustment. You may be as intellectually inclined as the older kids, but odds are, you don't have the same amount of maturity. So I would be careful about that. Other than that, congrats.
