""""""""""Sorry, having a very difficult time following your incoherent, broken english, but in the DC market this is not a big issue. There may be one or two kids that were held back in kindergarten for developmental reasons, but generally parents aren't doing this to cheat the system. In fact, most VA/DC kids don't even start playing lacrosse until later. Furthermore, the kids that are big for their age, even if age appropriate, tend to play up a grade until 8th grade when they are no longer allowed to"""""""

Apparently you were able to follow it enough to give a response jerk. DC/Va private schools are just starting to catch up to Baltimore/Annapolis private schools. According to you 8th grade is issue with DC/Va and to lessor extent kindergarten. Bet that changes in next few years to compete better if it hasn't already....
