[quote=Anonymous]The deal in FCPS is that kids who are in Oct/Nov. can go to private kindergarten and then move to public school. It is up to the school whether they will take them for 1st grade or put them in kindergarten (which is what their bday would default them to). Some private kindergartens have a known reputation for the quality of their program and the nearby publics know them and will take their recommendations for placing the child in 1st grade. There are absolutely no guarantees that your child will be placed in 1st grade and the private Kindergs will tell you that. But, it can happen. In Mont/PG counties, there is a formal assessment process for placing kids ahead. My friend did it with her kid and it has worked out very well (but he would have been "on time" in FCPS b/c he's an end-of-Sept. kid).[/quote]
