[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will not be let in. I’m sorry. Especially this year. First of all your kid needs to be at a first grade level to pass (it does not test kindergarten readiness but end of kinder benchmarks) and second of all the school can say no if they are overcrowded which they will be due to read shirting because everyone who could held their kid back to avoid virtual kinder hell. Let us know where you live and we can give preschool recs. Sorry, I know of sucks. Happened to my son (9/2 birthday) but ended up working out. [/quote]

Agree. There is enough discretion in the test that they can just say your child didn't pass one of the sections if they don't want to let the kid in. Our kid was meeting some end-of-K measures and all middle-of-K measures when she took the test, and she was denied--when I got more info, I found out that the principal simply doesn't allow kids to pass the test and get in early. In the end it was fine--my daughter with an early Sept bday is perfectly fine as one of the oldest in the class.[/quote]

It really is up to the principal.  Ours would net let us test.  Your child can pass everything on the test and still get denied early entry.[/quote]
