Frequently Asked Questions

When do children typically start kindergarten?

In most U.S. states, children start kindergarten at age 5, though the exact cutoff date varies by state. Many states require children to turn 5 by September 1 of the school year, but cutoffs range from July 31 to December 1 depending on the state.

How do I calculate my child's kindergarten start year?

To find your child's kindergarten start year, determine the year they will turn 5, then check whether their birthday falls before or after your state's enrollment cutoff date. If they turn 5 before the cutoff, they typically start that fall. If after, they usually wait until the following year.

What year will my child graduate high school?

High school graduation typically occurs 13 years after a child's kindergarten start year (including kindergarten plus grades 1 through 12). The calculator determines your child's expected kindergarten year and adds 13 to estimate their high school graduation year.

What are school enrollment cutoff dates?

School enrollment cutoff dates are the deadlines by which a child must have their birthday to start kindergarten in a given school year. The most common U.S. cutoff is September 1, but states like California use December 1, while others use dates in July or August.

What is the difference between kindergarten redshirting and early enrollment?

Kindergarten redshirting is the practice of delaying a child's school start by one year so they enter kindergarten at age 6 rather than 5, often to give them more time to develop socially and academically. Early enrollment refers to starting kindergarten before the typical age when a child shows exceptional readiness.
