My son is a senior at an independent day prep school in MA. Off the top of my head, there are 14 reclasses in his grade that I know of. 13 are boys and 1 is a girl (and she’s the daughter of the associate head of school). There are 95 kids in their grade. So roughly 15% of their grade reclassed. Every one of the boy reclasses are athletes. And most have spring or summer birthdays, meaning that they were young for their grade prior to reclassing. I really think that outside of athletics, reclassing does not happen as much as people think it does.
