| I was 18 when I graduated. My dd has a November birthday and is 6 in K. She wasn't red-shirted, she just missed the cut off. Isn't 18 the norm? |

| 4 when I started k, 17 when I graduated. November birthday but the cutoff at the time in the state I lived in allowed me to start at 4. |

18 was never the norm where I am from. 90% of the students went to top tier colleges. 17 or just turned 18 was the norm. Never was 18+ and definitely not 19. If you were 19 when you graduated, something was wrong.

Started K at 4, graduated at 17, always youngest. Academically fine, socially struggled significantly. Redshirting was allowed. It probably would have been better for me.
Redshirted my DC who has a fall birthday on the cusp (entered at 5, will graduate at 18 instead of entering at 4, graduating at 17). So far glad really we made the decision. DC has never been the oldest. Sports wasn't a factor, but my experience was. |

| 17, turned 18 the next month. Standard stuff. Older sister had Oct birthday and thus started college at 17. |

| 18. Only the really slow kids were held back when I was a kid. |

| Turned 18, graduated from HS one week later. |

 yes, that extra year would have made you old and it would have been after you started "life"

Same. I began kindergarten early, at age 4.5. I was sent to a private school in order to start so young. I was the youngest student in my high school graduating class of 250. |
