Psychology in the Schools, v27 n3 p260-63 Jul 1990

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)
