[quote=Anonymous]It is extremely uncommon. To repeat a grade in DCPS requires principal consent, which at most school's requires a teacher's recommendation. We have friends w/ a son whose birthday is just before the cutoff (he was actually a premie, so should have been born several months after the cutoff), who struggled mightily in 1st last year (particularly with respect to academics, but also behaviorally/socially, no doubt exacerbated by the pandemic) and their principal basically dismissed them out of hand. And you can't just wait to start school in DC, because your child is legally required to start at age 5. At which point they will be put in K. The only way to do it is to redshirt via a private and then switch to DCPS post-K.[/quote]
