He is July 2008. Some of the kids are March/April 2007. Those kids are 11 now and in 4th grade. Their cut-off would have been Dec 1, meaning they made it by 8+ months, but their parents thought they weren't ready for kindergarten. It makes for a 18-20 month age range in the 4th grade. Tough on everyone.

As a September birthday, I turned 12 a few weeks after 7th grade started. So turned 11 in 6th.
You are right, my math is wrong. I turned 12 after 7 th day started. But our cutoff is September 1 and with school starting roght after Labor Day, there are no 11 year old seventh graders here at all. Obviously different where cutoff is later
