One thing I forgot to mention is don't just think are they ready now. Look into the future. Do you want a 17 year old or just turning 18 year old boy graduating from high school and heading out into the world? I didn't! Also, is he going to hit puberty a year or two later than eeveryone else in his class? I have a friend who sent her son on because he made the cutoff. Her son is the youngest in his middle school class and very small and hasn't hit puberty yet. All the other boys in the class are bigger and interested in girls. This child feels so out of place socially. He is incredibly bright and has great grades. He is also in his words labeled a "geek." The older kids get the more they worry not just about grades, but also social aspects.
