As an above poster stated sounds like kid will be staying back early instead of 7th or 8th grade. Its an ok rule but still ways around it. I think if your kid needs to stay back in should be allowed no matter the grade if its for academic purposes. I myself would like to see a rule where kids can only be held back 1 year instead of some being held back for 2.
Some of the people I played sports with when I graduated was at least 2 years older than me. I mean heck they was basically driving there freshmen year.
