[quote=Anonymous]I have an August boy at Janney. I would have no concern that your child is going to be lost in the shuffle and not kept at grade level or above - absent learning disabilities, it just doesn't happen with the way teaching (and interventions and use of specialists) is structured at Janney. And in our experience (grade), few August/September kids were held back, and the ones that were don't seem better off (certainly not socially or academically, not saying it wasn't the right call for them). I would make your decision based on signs of kindergarten readiness (Google it or talk to the school). Look at cognitive ability, social ability, emotional maturity and perhaps physical size.[/quote]
