[quote=Anonymous]You know your own kid, OP. And you don't need to decide immediately. Check the rules in the area where you live. My son was born a week before a September 30 cutoff and we sent him on time (i.e., when he was 4 years and 11 months old). He's 17 now and I've never had any regrets. Actually, I think it would be insufferable having a HS senior who is 18 for pretty much the whole school year. (I've known 18 year olds who pull the "I'm an adult, I can do what I want" and parenting a "teen adult" through high school is much more challenging than parenting a slightly young K student). If you daughter goes at 4, assuming a September 30 cutoff, there will be some kids who are only a week or two older than she is. Not everyone redshirts. Our experience has been that it's about 50-50 for September birthdays. [/quote]
