    Skipping a grade
    I'm 15 and I just finished seventh grade. I was hoping there was a way that I could take the LEAP test during the first two nine weeks and the rest or the school year the last nine weeks in high school

    Stuff like this usually depends on your school district or even your schools regulations on these type of matters. I'd suggest going to see your guidance counselor, they would know all the details and can probably point you in the right direction.
    Assuming you're from Louisiana which is where the LEAP test is given that I know of... I wasn't aware that it could be used to skip grades; I thought it was more of an assessment to make sure you were ready to move on. I've also never heard of people doing part of a school year in one grade and then moving to another grade unless that person was "brilliant."
    Again, speak with your guidance counselor or a teacher you trust they can tell you more.

    Good luck!

    "15 and i just finished seventh grade" did you start late or what? Is your K-8 school district part of the 9-12 district some are and some are not. Some school systems will place students in a grade age appropriate and your age seems a bit out of line for finishing 7th grade at 15

    Where your grades all almost all Straight A/s but your parents go and talk to the school and see if your grades are good
    Enough.

    Also did you do a end of the year test, like the CAT or one of the other national tests, I would assume you were in the 90 or above level?
