My brother skipped 5th that same year, but he was much better at making friends (including by hiding how good he was academically -- not even the teachers knew and my folks had to insist that either both of us skipped or neither; he's now a philosophy professor). But if FishJr is good at making friends, including with kids older than herself, I'd say go for it. Especially at this stage, i.e. pre-school and in connection with a move. Being openly bored by school might be understood by other kids as being show-offish (I now know I was seen that way in grades 1 and 2, though in Kindergarden the kids valued that I could read books to them in free play time), in which case she might fit in better by starting off with kids who are reading etc. more or less at her level.
