[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can confirm there is no red shirting in NYC.  Our K class is all kids born in 2018. I have a March kid who is one of the oldest.  [/quote]

Another confirmation here.  My daughter turned 5 in November of Kindergarten and there were 4 kids younger than her in class.  They're very strict against red-shirting, I think I know of maybe 2 kids out of more than 100 in her grade who, because they moved from out of the city or whatever, are not born in 2015, my DD's birth year.[/quote]

Redshirting is also rare-to-impossible in DCPS. I think you can do it if you send your kid to private through K and then move to your IB -- they will put your kid in 1st even if age wise they would normally be in 2nd because they will follow the age progression of the prior school. They will also do it if there is a clear diagnosis and an IEP in place and the IEP team agrees that redshirting makes sense. I also think there are some at risk who wind up accidentally redshirted because, due to neglect or unstable housing or other issues, they do not get enrolled in school on time.

But the type of redshirting OP is talking about is really the purview of rich suburban districts.[/quote]
