My understanding is that ANY 8th grader can tryout if the Sport is not offered in MS not just those held back.

Homeschoolers are NOT enrolled in Public schools.

My redshirted son's school did not offered that option.

In my book (which means nothing to FCPS) a public school 8th grader isn’t enrolled in the public high school and should not be part of that high school community. Doesn’t matter if they are in the high school’s pyramid.

It is a very small group of kids, mostly of entitled parents.

Internally MS kids do belong to their HS pyramid. Same system. No need to register/re-enroll separately for HS once they finish MS. So yes, they are enrolled with the public school system!

When my kids moved to HS from MS I didn't have to do anything besides checking off 'yes' on the form I received.

My kids are active in sports, Club and School, and those entitled parents with their kids are everywhere. I so despise them too!

But the upside is that they’re older than their class and will stand out for their athletic ability. Seems to me that colleges would realize that a kid is talented in comparison to his class because he’s older but obviously there must be some benefit to doing this.

This! I just heard of it this year in probate. I’m not sure if it means just for sports or if they have déclassé entirely

It makes me think less of VHSL.
