[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The test is for end-of-K skills, and since it is taken around April of the PK year, kids need to be at least a year ahead in all tested areas. If they don't pass each section of the test, they won't get in. [/quote]

It's weird that they want a child to be ready for kindergarten by testing for end of year knowledge[/quote]

They  set a really high bar for early entry to discourage people from doing  it and even if your kid can  do all that, they still deny  as its a subjective test.  Its up to the principal.  Many families end up paying  for private K-1 as either way that year  you have to pay for some kind of school.[/quote]

THIS IS KINDERGARTEN, PEOPLE…wake up, please!  What are you doing to your kid??[/quote]

Because the cut off is arbitrary and and there can be the difference of a few hours or a day between being eligible or having to wait a year[/quote]

A lot of parents especially the ones who love sports are into red-shirting which is just the opposite. I think half the boys in DC's K were a year or more older. [/quote]

Many did it with Covid so they could send their kids to day care and not have virtual.   [/quote]
