Examined the prevalence of delay of kindergarten entry (academic redshirting) by examining records of more than 8,000 Wisconsin students. Results show that 7% of the sample had delayed school entry and that these students were primarily boys with birth dates just before the entrance cutoff. Achievement of redshirted students was comparable to that of peers who entered on time. (SLD)
