[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprised it hasn’t been mentioned that this issue is complicated by the fact that the age cutoff is different for different jurisdictions. Dcps age cutoff is Sept 30, Mcps cutoff is Sept 1, GDS cutoff is Sept 1, Sidwell is Sept 30, Beauvoir is Aug 31. So if a kid has a birthday in mid-Sept, their grade level is different based on which school they’re in. That’s not a problem if you know all along that your child will be in one particular school system, but if you’re considering private schools or even moving from MD to DC, it matters quite a bit. Still, this is an embarrassing look for the parents for sure. But I can see how having a child with a mid-Sept birthday, when you aren’t 100% sure what school system you’ll be in, can make it pretty tough for parents to navigate.
