Kindergarten Acceleration

A child may be enrolled in the first grade if they are at least 6 years of age at the beginning of the current school year. A student may also enter first grade if the student is transferring from an out-of-state public school and has completed kindergarten or has already been enrolled in first grade.

Students who will be 6 years old on or before Dec. 31 of their eligible kindergarten year are eligible for kindergarten acceleration. Students will advance to the first grade if they meet the testing criteria.
