[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD went to a private school in Fairfax County where she was only one of two kids in 20 years that the director allowed to skip a year, so she started kindergarten at 4. DD has an early October birthday and fit in much better from a size and intellectual level with the older class. When she enrolled in an FCPS ES, she met with the 1st grade teachers before school started. After 10 minutes, they brought her back saying she was more than qualified for 1st grade, even though she was still only 5. She still was in AAP and did not have any scholastic or social issues.

There have been a handful of hiccups over the years. In elementary school she was not ready for FCPS FLE content, so evaluate that material closely and opt out if needed. FCPS also has a high percentage of red-shirted kids, and that becomes very apparent in high school when her friends started driving and having freedom much earlier than her. [/quote]

So you’re sharing information that is at a minimum 10 years old. Gosh, thanks. 👀[/quote]

Each school system has rules about this and [b]its very common to do[/b].  We did it as well and transferred in 2nd when there i slo age requirement.[/quote]

No, in FCPS, it's very uncommon.  Basically unheard of.[/quote]
