There are plenty of 19 year old seniors.  Way to old.   Especially when some start high school at 13.[/quote]

If they are 19 during their senior year then they have a fall/spring birthday and were redshirted one year. It's uncommon for fall/spring birthday kids to be redshirted.

So not "plenty".

It is common for spring birthdays, don’t be naive. [/quote]

Not in the DC area - except for maybe a handful of privates. [/quote]
+1 I've been a public school teacher in the DC area for 28 years; spring birthday redshirts are definitely rare. [/quote]

2 neighbors have April birthdays who are both redshirted and my child has a classmate who has a February birthday who is also redshirted.

Where is this?

Did they just start K? Maybe parents were worried about covid since they didn’t have vaccine last fall. 
[/quote]

These are all teenage kids so no, not covid related. [/quote]

Where is this? DC area? Public or private?

Redshirting spring birthdays is uncommon in DC area - except for a handful of private schools. And maybe this batch of covid Kindergarteners.

[/quote]

Yes, dc area and both public and private. No, it is not uncommon, it has been our experience since preschool and I work in the school system. It’s absurd. [/quote]

Which public school system in the DC area has common spring redshirting? 
[/quote]

None. The PP is pulling stuff out of thin air.[/quote]

Clearly [/quote]
