I've got 1 kid on each end, our cut off is the end of the year. My oldest is born at the beging of the year and is one of the oldest kids in his class. It's great for him since he is a leader but can be shy to stand up in front expessially when adults are evolved. As far as school kids go currently he is ahead of some of the kids.
My second kid is born 2 days before the cut off ends so is the youngest. He starts school in the fall. After speaking to his teachers for next year, I've come to realize that like providers they learn how to manage that age gap. He will not know as much as others who start when they do. But by grade 2 or 3 most of that gap disappeares. Honestly though I wish he was on the older end of the group like his brother.
