[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MD’s age range for lower school is usually 6-8mo delayed from traditional public So if the boy has a spring birthday they might suggest a hold back to repeat 1st. There are maybe 30-40% of kids who do not repeat and come straight from Kindergarten. Not exactly sure because it’s something that isn’t at the forefront of conversations- especially after the first year. But it did seem to me that there were plenty of K to 1 boys who didn’t repeat and we usually the Fall birthdays. Meaning 7yo for most/all of 1st at MD. [/quote] What’s the story for boys admitted in 5-6th? Are most (at least spring/summer/maybe beyond) held back?[/quote] Many educators believe older boys do better academically, socially and yes, athletically, in middle school and on through high school. It doesn't please the parents on the opposite sidelines, as these threads about Mater Dei consistently demonstrate.[/quote]
