My kid was born November 10 2002 what grade should he be in? I am confused.
Throughout most of the country he would be a 2021 - 7th grader and not considered to be old but rather within the typical age range for his grade
In NY with the late birthday cutoff he may be an 8th grader (2020)
Most Maryland Prep schools as well as most clubs would suggest he reclassify to 2022 class which would make him one year older than his classmates. This would make him more attractive to D1 coaches who ignore age and recruit by class
None of the above is my personal opinion of what is the right thing to do, it is just a statement of fact.
a nov birthday is either considered young or old for the grade; who are you trying to kid. If you believe in a lie long enough you believe it. Just like a march kid used to be considered on the older side in Ny... that is until people stated holding their kids back because they "weren't ready" for kindergarten.
the hold back is to give their kids an advantage at life whether social academic or athletic.
