[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of transfers do this. I've seen it as late as junior year in high school.[/quote] Yup -- and it works out perfectly fine. How do I know this? I have 3 kids, all with summer birthdays, and all repeated a grade when they moved from public to private school as middle schoolers. At the time, they were all doing great, both academically and socially, but we were advised by friends with older kids that it's tough socially to be one of the youngest kids in middle and high school grades. This was absolutely spot-on. For our kids, being at the older end of the age range never led to boredom. Instead, they blossomed, developing into confident and independent young people, now ranging in age from 17 - 23. [/quote]
