That’s comical. Think about it. 50% of all private’s are holdbacks. On LI, there are essentially 3 Catholic privates. Maryland has 20+, most of the quality PA and NJ kids are privates. North and Northwest of Manhattan is sticks. The quality players all go to privates.


Not sure why we are talking about NY in a PA forum, but...

Holdback = started school late (as in a 6 year old entering Kindergarten
Reclassed = repeated a grade. Most common in 8th grade in conjunction with private school attendance.
