[quote=Anonymous]It's a tough call. Is the school a competitive one with a reputation for admitting mostly or all bright (90%+ smart, academically inclined) kids? If so, then it's likely her cohort in KG would still be a good match for her. Also, is the school good at meeting the kids where they are academically as the years go by? If they are truly good at differentiating, have lots of specialists to work with the kids who are working ahead, and generally have a bright group of kids in any given grade, then I would go with KG. I think the social emotional component is so important, especially since it seems she's a little on the immature side. I would only do 1st for my child if they were truly ahead academically AND socially, especially in your situation where she doesn't even seem to be on the cusp if their unofficial cutoff.[/quote]
