Am I in the wrong grade for my age?

My birthday lands on December 8th, 1991 which makes me 15 years old and in my Sophomore year. What I’m wondering is am I supposed to be a Sophomore or a Junior? I’ve had this confusion all my life. I seem to be older than most people in my classes sometimes because they’re all born in 1992, and are all turning 16 next year (2008) pretty much during the very end of this school year or during the summer, etc., but I’m turning 16 this year (December 2007). Everyone always asks me if I was ever left back, but I never was. My mother only had the school hold be when I was very little in first grade because she said everyone was always older than me and that she had put me in school too soon and wanted to place be in the “correct” grade. But I’m confused if she was right or not. Is it because of where my birthday lands that I belong in 10th grade, or do I actually belong in 11th? Everyone will be 17 when they graduate, and I’ll be 18. What exactly are the ages for each grade then? =|

I think you’re fine. It depends on how old the requirement for kindergarten was in your state. I graduated high school when I was seventeen, but most people were older than me. I wouldn’t think too much about it. You’ll be driving long before most of them, after all.

there really is no exact age.

for the most part, sophomores are usually 15-16

chill. i’m gonna be 18 when i graduate.. but my i was born in march 1992 oh and im sophomore too. =D class of 2010!

i think its because there is a cut off. if ur born after august, i think schools will make you wait til the next year. idk why.

schools are just like that.

don’t worry about it too much. i have some people in my class who are going to turn 17, and they are sophomores.

then again, they’re immigrants. so.. they got placed all weird.

Its based on when your birthday falls prior to the school year . My daughter was also born in Dec and she too was 18 when she graduated.

I think its if you are 5 before school starts then you can go to kindergarten ,but if you don’t turn 5 until after school starts then you have to wait until the following year to enter kindergarten . I think that some schools will go on and let kids start 1st if they’ve had to wait a year ,but it just varies on the school system.

You’re in the right grade. There are always kids born in two different years in each grade. In your case its ’91 and ’92. The cut-off is probably about early August ’91 to late July ’92.
