[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any personal experience being held back or pushed forward with summer birthdays? Looking for long-range views. Do the top schools skew older? [/quote] The school we applied to wanted my son to be held back as he is a summer birthday. We weren’t crazy about it at the time but now that he is older it has worked out OK. Otherwise he would’ve been one of the youngest in the grade as privates do skew a little older. They tend to hold back boys particularly if they’re the first child. If they are the youngest of two or three and have a summer birthday they don’t get held back as often in the grades I am familiar with.[/quote]
