Yes, but there is also emotional maturity to consider, it is better to skip just one grade at a time, maybe two in primary and two in secondary, there are also schools which have accelerated learning. Best not to think of the past and focus on what you can do now ;0)

I'll assume this was inspired by my answer on another question...therefore here's the specifics on what/how/when I skipped: First, I stated I started kindergarten at age 4. The cutoff birthday date for kindergarten enrollment in the district I grew up in at that time was that new enroll-ees had to be 5 yrs old by late September. I missed that deadline by about 5 weeks and my Mom was (ironically) concerned that I'd get picked on for being a dummy if I was older than the other kids, so she asked if I could be enrolled at age 4. I had to take some tests but was allowed in. That wasn't really skipping a grade...just pushing me 2 months ahead instead of 10 months back. When I skipped 4th grade, I was completely unaware that it was happening until the end of the year. I was in a unique elementary school program in a public school in New Jersey. The whole elementary school had this thing called IGE, Individually Guided Education. Instead of grades 1 through 6, they had "IGE unit A" and "IGE unit B" covering the materials taught in grades 1-4 and 5-7, respectively. I had transferred to that school from another school when I was about to enter 3rd grade (we moved there). The school would split kids up according to their abilities, matched into the closest small groups of 6 or 7. The slow kids were kept together and taught at their own speed, while the brainiacs didn't get bored. Everyone in the middle was no worse off...it was an awesome school, especially for something public. Anyway, the group I was in (7 kids) were all given the equivalent of 3rd and 4th grade work in our 3rd grade year. At the end of the year we were all told we would be in "IGE Unit B" next year...trhat was when we realized we all skipped 4th grade. My family moved again that summer and I started the next school year in 5th grade at 8 yrs old...turning 9 within the first 2 months. I eventually voluntarily stayed back repeating 9th grade for purely social, not academic reasons. I was given the choice to move ahead w/ my C average and move to the high school, or stay back for more social development while still in Jr High. Skipping 4th was a very poor choice for me in hindsight, but it did help give me the world I currently own...which I happen to like...so I guess it's all good. I hate remembering the specifics of those days tho...they certainly separated my from the normies weather I wanted to or not... Skipping grades can be quite detrimental...or good...and there's no real way to predict which since what really matters won't surface for another 2-3 decades after the grade skipping and many life events will happen during those years that will likely have a greater impact on where you wind up than weather you skipped a grade or two or not. Hope that helps somehow...you say you wish it happened to you, yet I wouldn't wish my childhood on anyone. *shrug*

I skipped two grades in elementary. I was forced to, and I didn't like it one bit. I didn't have anything in common with the older kids, and although I did well in the higher grades, I missed my same age classmates. :(

Yes it is. I skipped two grades.
