[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our oldest will be graduating this year at 21 with a four-year degree because they started kindergarten at barely five years old. [b]I'm glad we thought ahead and didn't redshirt. Nobody stops to think about the ramifications of having a 20-year-old high school senior but that day is quickly approaching for many parents who started their kids at six or seven.[/b] [/quote]

The only way you could have a 20-year-old high school senior is by holding back a winter/spring kid twice or a summer/fall kid thrice. However, it’s only fall kids who are considered for redshirting. They start school a year late and they’re never held back again. So a redshirted student will start their senior year of high school at 17 and turn 18 shortly after. But at no point during the year will they turn 19, let alone 20.

Fall kids are not held back, they miss the cut off which is different.  Spring and summer are held back. Kids can be turning 19. [/quote]
