[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should rent a condo in Bethesda, send their kid to MOCO for the year because the cutoff is September 1 and then switch back to Lafayette and attend 1st next year.  Of course I said Bethesda or Potomac or maybe TP because otherwise the ‘demographics’ probably won’t suit these open, accepting parents![/quote]

Yeah but some of these families have mid-summer, not September birthdays… [/quote]

Does MCPS allow redshirting, though? [/quote]
MCPS allows redshirting but is very strict when it comes to enrolling children early. There is a defined process for trying to test in early. Your child has to demonstrate that she is already proficient in the kindergarten curriculum in order to enroll in kindergarten a year early. I’ve known several families who really wanted to enroll their September children a year early. I haven’t heard any widespread complaints about redshirting in MCPS. It seems to be a different mindset.[/quote]
