FWIW, it does depend on the school. My stepson was also reading at 4, and we were worried he'd be bored in kindergarten as well--until he got there, and discovered that at least a third of the other kids were reading as well, and the teacher was totally prepared to keep them challenged. But if you're in Kentucky, you mileage definitely may vary.
