Same. I began kindergarten early, at age 4.5. I was sent to a private school in order to start so young.
I was the youngest student in my high school graduating class of 250.

Red shirting not allowed then, for good reason.
I was 17 upon graduation. Would NOT have it any other way. Was able to get B.S., grad school, law school and doctorate out of the way before starting "life" while still young!
yes, that extra year would have made you old and it would have been after you started "life"

Started K at 4, graduated at 17, always youngest. Academically fine, socially struggled significantly. Redshirting was allowed. It probably would have been better for me.
Redshirted my DC who has a fall birthday on the cusp (entered at 5, will graduate at 18 instead of entering at 4, graduating at 17). So far glad really we made the decision. DC has never been the oldest. Sports wasn't a factor, but my experience was.

18 was never the norm where I am from. 90% of the students went to top tier colleges. 17 or just turned 18 was the norm. Never was 18+ and definitely not 19. If you were 19 when you graduated, something was wrong.

4 when I started k, 17 when I graduated. November birthday but the cutoff at the time in the state I lived in allowed me to start at 4.

I was 18 when I graduated. My dd has a November birthday and is 6 in K. She wasn't red-shirted, she just missed the cut off. Isn't 18 the norm?
