[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To OP, something else to keep in mind, my sons that were youngest in their class had a big advantage for the NNAT compared to my son who is one of the oldest in his class. Son oldest in his class got more correct on NNAT, but received a significantly lower age-adjusted score than sibling that was youngest in the class and missed more questions. I knew older kids had to miss less to get the same score, but I didn't think they could miss less and get a lower score than the younger kids taking it. All my kids went on time.

This was the case with my DC who started late. Big disadvantage on the NNAT. Also, that extra pre-k year was not worthwhile at all. DC was bored and acted out the entire year which was a bit of a waste. However, the reason we made the decision to hold him back (early Sept birthday) was the big picture. Being the youngest in middle school and high school comes with it's own challenges, especially for boys, and we felt he would be better off in the long run starting late.[/quote]
