Repeating a grade as a student who skipped one?

Hello, all. I skipped a grade in elementary school. Thus, I spent middle school one year younger than the other students in my grade. I completed freshman year of high school with a 4.0 UW, 4.14 W, taking AP Human Geography and Algebra II/Trig. Now, I'm considering going to a different (more competitive, better resources) high school, and I'm considering entering as a freshman so that I'll be with my age cohort. That would mean having two ninth-grade transcripts on my application. If I already got straight A's, will repeating ninth grade look bad on my application?

You could explain this in the additional information section if you go through with it. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with this, especially if you get good grades both times. Honestly, it'd be kind of impressive if you're willing to not only do 9th grade twice (personally I would hate it) but also the fact you skipped in the first place. You may also be able to choose to not use the first 9th grade transcript since it is repetitive. Hope that helps!
