You realize how many are older -- but it's usually not that many. Statistically, only 25% are going to be summer bdays, right? And only a portion of those are going to hold their kids back.
Statistically, late summer/fall birthdays are more than 25%. Those are the most common birth months. And at my DC's school, all of them were held back, except for my DC. Whoops.

Really? You learned everyone’s birthdays? That seems...excessive.

Honestly, OP, what good does it do to know this info in advance?

First time at the rodeo?
Guess so. We're talking about kindergarten, right? Not college basketball
Same theory
-- hold them back a year so they'll either be (depending on the parent's take):
- more mature
- the oldest/tallest/smartest in the class.

Which school, OP? Maybe parents can share their observations.

Not that I know of. And when I tried calling and asking, the school didn't really tell me.
