grade skipping
Bypassing a year
Grade skipping is the practice of advancing a student past one or more grade levels in school, typically because the student's academic abilities exceed their current placement.
A child might skip from second grade directly to fourth: She was so far ahead of her classmates that the school recommended grade skipping.
The practice is one approach to educating gifted children, though it raises social concerns about placing younger students among older peers.
