[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of my son’s last year class out of 12 students, 6 students with May-August birthday decided to stay. That is half of the class. I can’t speak for the other classes[/quote]

Seems like a bizarre statistical outlier if fully half the kids in a class are born within a 3-4 month span. Or, the school is actually selecting for summer birthdays and wants them.[/quote]

dp:  it’s faulty data.  The class covers 6 months of kids born May-Oct.  Not clear if she’s including Sept/Oct bdays or not.  Either way, she’s not including the class of Nov-April kids in her denominator.

The May-Aug kids who stay for Year 3 will be 6 before the next school year, and then most or all of those kids will go onto K.

But Year 3 at NCRC is great, so it adds incentive to redshirt.[/quote]

Again, in my son’s class (including only birthdays from May-October) 6 out of 12 are redshirted. Of these 6, all are born between May and August. I never claimed it to be a school average. Not faulty data, just facts from someone with eyes and ears on the ground[/quote]
