Statistics on number of redshirted kids by school

[Anonymous]

Is there any way to get this information on public Kindergarten classes in Arlington?

[Anonymous]

Not that I know of. And when I tried calling and asking, the school didn't really tell me.

Just look for the kids with the scarlet R on their heads

What does "redshirted" mean?

Which school, OP? Maybe parents can share their observations.

Guess so. We're talking about kindergarten, right? Not college basketball

I doubt it. Why is this your business?

Same theory -- hold them back a year so they'll either be (depending on the parent's take):

- more mature
- the oldest/tallest/smartest in the class.

Honestly, OP, what good does it do to know this info in advance?

OP is probably looking for ammunition in her ongoing battle against NORTH Arlington.

I think you just sort of figure this out as the school year starts and your child is invited to various bday parties, or your child is in soccer/other activities and you realize that one or two kids are notably older/taller than the others (or the kid mentions how old s/he is). You realize how many are older -- but it's usually not that many. Statistically, only 25% are going to be summer bdays, right? And only a portion of those are going to hold their kids back.

Statistically, late summer/fall birthdays are more than 25%. Those are the most common birth months. And at my DC's school, all of them were held back, except for my DC. Whoops.

Really? You learned everyone’s birthdays? That seems...excessive.
