- In the United States, for example, data from the National Center for Education Statistics suggest that about 0.1% to 0.2% of students skip a grade each year.
- In England and Wales, skipping a grade is quite rare, with less than 0.1% of primary school students and about 0.3% of secondary school students doing so each year.
Skipping a grade involves moving a student ahead to a higher grade level based on factors such as their academic abilities, maturity level, and readiness for more advanced curriculum. It's usually done following recommendations from teachers, assessments, and discussions with the student's parents or guardians.
