There are plenty of 19 year old seniors. Way to old. Especially when some start high school at 13.

If they are 19 during their senior year then they have a fall/spring birthday and were redshirted one year. It's uncommon for fall/spring birthday kids to be redshirted.

So not "plenty".

A kid turning 20 during senior year would be "redshirted" twice. Very very rare or extenuating circumstances (ELL).

Recap - with no redshirting (or gap year, etc) and cutoff after the start of school (e.g., 9/30 in VA):
8th: 12-14; most are 13 turning 14 during school year
9th: 13-15; most are 14 turning 15
10th: 14-16; most are 15 turning 16
11th: 15-17; most are 16 turning 17
12th: 16-18; most are 17 turning 18
F: 17-19, most 18 turning 19
S: 18-20, most 19 turning 20
J: 19-21, most 20 turning 21
S: 20-22, most 21 turning 22

I've only ever met one person who graduated high school at 19. Almost everyone I know turned 19 between the July after their freshman year of college and the September of their sophomore year of college. But seeing as how you spelled "too" as "to", I wouldn't expect you to be educated on the facts.

Using dcum as a measure of grammar and spelling shows poorly on you.

It is common for spring birthdays, don’t be naive.

Are the 19 year old seniors 19 when school starts or ends? Why compare the starting age of a handful of freshman to the ending age of a handful of seniors?

There should be no 19 year old senior when school starts or ends.

Not in the DC area - except for maybe a handful of privates.

So you mostly know people with birthdays between July and September?

Those are the most common times of year to be born. https://www.unitypoint.org/livewell/article.aspx?id=ad80d6cc-6a53-49f3-b496-8c0f48b47936#:~:text=The%20Centers%20for%20Disease%20Control,August%20birthday%20means%20December%20conception.

Because, the OP's daughter is having to compete against someone over a year older than her. This means that she'll always be one rank lower in her class than she should. If she has the highest scores of her age-appropriate classmates, she'll be labeled as "2nd smartest", If she has the 2nd-highest scores of her age-appropriate classmates, she'll be labeled as "3rd smartest", etc.

If I held my September kid back they would be 18 all of high school.

The only kid I know who will likely be 19 as a senior has been redshirted twice. Once before kindergarten and once in high school because of Covid. He's also one of the best quarterbacks in the country, also has multiple D1 offers to play football, he's a sophomore currently. He's not competing with the offspring of the uber competitive complainers here he's on a whole different trajectory. So I don't think this is common enough for people to worry about.
