As a recent transplant to America, I had not realized that my rising 9th grader would have some his classes with older students. He will take two AP courses and a language at an advanced level, and the school counselor told me he would likely be with mostly older kids, some of them seniors.

How did your teen cope with this experience? In my home country, this never happens. Each grade stays together.

Tell us what your fears are?  My kid goes to a small school so they have to group all ages together, except Freshman year.  Nothing bad as ever happened and in many ways it was a positive experience.   No matter the age they are all there with a teacher and there to learn.  It isn't like your kid is five and the other students are 15.    Trust me, the majority of Seniors have no interest in your Freshman.  My Senior ( a girl) thinks of them as younger brother/sister and tries to mentor them.

In short, my teen did just fine and yours will too!
