Well I'm in 5th grade and everything is too easy for me. My grama told me her son (who is a surgeon) used to skip grades. Also I'm doing 6th grade math. I'm willing to take maybe summer school or a online school. I want to skip a grade also because my brother is going to middle school ( my middle school starts at 7th grade), he will have to walk to school and my mom wants some one to be with him.

You need to talk to a guidance counselor at school. They are the only ones who can answer your question. It may be possible.

All schools are different, first it is what your parents want, and how your school system works.

For my son, he has skipped two grades, but he had to have straight A grades, and pass the CAT not only for his grade but for the grade he was going to skip.

I was in 5th when I began to realize that school was too easy for me too. I was offered a chance to skip 6th and turned it down because I was already the youngest in my class. 6th was even more boring. Good luck - talk to teachers, parents, everyone you can, but be aware of the age difference, that's all.
PS: I didn't go to challenging schools and sailed right through all 12 grades without having to do much work. I got a full scholarship to a top school - and was dismally unprepared, not just for how hard the material was, but also for studying long hours. I dropped out, but might have flunked out.

I just want to reinforce this point. I was similar. I sailed through elementary and middle schools. Getting into very bad study habits. When I hit High School this started catching up with me. And I didn't do nearly as well as I had previously.

So be very careful about the study habits you develop now.
