math class

For backstory when before I was in kindergarten I taught myself how to do multi-digit addition and subtraction and I've always had a thing for math. I know there a people who are way more advanced than me but I like to think what I was doing was pretty advanced. Well as time went on and I went to a public school I was challenged enough to not be bored but I definitely wasn't be pushed to what I could do. In second grade the entire grade was required to take an IQ test (wasn't actually but in theory was) I got accepted to a gifted school for third grade but it happened I had to move cross country that year. In third grade, I was going to one of the best school districts in Connecticut (already an overall good state for education) but they lacked a lot in the gifted area. I was in a regular classroom all day and there wasn't even a gifted teacher at the school. I grew completely frustrated and would be extremely mad every day coming home from school. In fourth grade, they brought in a teacher (after much demand) for the gifted group of kids at my school. Let's just say not much help but in the school's eyes, it was much help. I started hating math (something I always loved) and life became miserable. In fourth and fifth grade I cried myself to sleep almost daily because of how much I hated life and felt hopeless there would ever be change. Both my parents are surgeons and have intense work schedules so they were not able to homeschool. I went to school every day and that was it. In sixth grade I let loose and the school finally let me skip a grade in just math although I'm ahead in all subjects (reading at 11th-grade level in 2 grade for example). There were already three other kids in my grade in the group but they honestly aren't that great at math. Then this year in 7th another one moved here. To put it in perspective one is being kept back another year. I did two of their classwork completely and was able to get all three of us an A+. The other two are smart but I hate to say this but I think I am a bit more advanced. You see I'm can do geometry and algebra 2 (taught myself from an online program) yet I'm stuck in the class. My question brings me to should I attempt to go to Precalculus this year or stay in "advanced" math and do geometry in 8th grade? Although it is advanced it doesn't feel advanced to me. What are your opinions on this?
