What grade is your 8 yr old in?

Our cut off is Dec 1st so that would make my daughter in 4th grade when she is 8 since her brthday is in Nov. if I don't hold her back for the 1st year. She would only be 4 in kindergarten so I may keep her back for one year.

Aprigail...Our cutoff is also Dec.1st. But they turn 5 in November when they are in Kindergarten. So in 4th grade she will turn 9 in the beginning of the school year. My DD also has November birthday. She will be turning 7 in November and will be in 2nd grade. 71/2 by the time we cruise. but very mature for her age and she always tries to keep up with her older sister 10. I think thats why she didn't like the 5-7 club, but in May I'll try it again and if she gives me a hard time, I'll try to bump her up.

Ok, So maybe THAT is what the deal is.. I see alot of you live in places where the cut-off date is DECEMBER?? In Texas, it's September 1st... So, that is why my DD is in 2nd grade and is 7, turning 8. BUT< I must say, she is in private school, and is like 2 years ahead of the public schools! At least she isn't really "behind" at all...
