Age Limit: KY vs Indiana

My son will turn 19 in May of his senior year. We made our decision about him in pre-school because he was not a bit interested in ABC's in August (when school started) but might have been ready at Christmas time. Our pediatrician made the statement to us at that time that he has never heard a parent state that they wished they would have sent their kids to school a year sooner, but many stating that they wished they would have held them back. If my son benefits athletically because of it then so be it, but that wasn't our motivation with him. It does make me sick though that parents have their kids repeat grades after being promoted because of athletics. I thought there was a KHSAA rule about repeating a grade after the 6th grade. Anybody out there that can share some light on that?

Sounds like you made the right move. Schools tend to be "friendlier" towards girls as it is. An "unready" boy might have an especially difficult time.
