[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tried this with my late summer bday boy a few years ago with no luck. I was told that unless kids are completely failing all benchmarks, they won't allow it.  
My son was definitely towards the bottom of the class academically, which is sad to say about a k student, but he was managing.  I was getting constant emails from the teacher about his focus and behavior.  The following year he was diagnosed with ADHD and received a 504 plan.   I would encourage you to ask for your son to be evaluated by the school.    You just email the admin and ask and they legally have to do it.

Being a younger boy with attention issues was and continues to be a huge struggle for my son. His self-esteem suffered greatly from being made to feel subpar for his behavior.

OP here. Thank you for your advice. We are meeting with the school to discuss evaluation. [/quote]
You are welcome.  Do the private evaluation too but you can get a 504 with checklists and diagnosis from pediatrician.    Also if you really think he needs to be held back and they won’t do it, pull him out and do private for a year.   My son was miserable for years.  It’s better now on medication and being older but I wish I had not left him in his current grade still.  [/quote]
