Reviewed school
records of elementary school students (N=313) to determine effects
of age of entry and gender on later academic achievement and grade
retention. Twelve students were of legal age for school entry but
were redshirted. Found statistically significant but relatively
small achievement differences between oldest and youngest children
when cognitive ability scores were controlled. (Author/ABL)
