Author(s): Datar, Ashlesha Source: Economics of Education Review, v25 n1 p43-62 Feb 2006 Pub Date: 2006 Abstract: The rising trend in the minimum entrance age for kindergarten in the United States has been motivated by findings from cross-sectional studies that older entrants have more-favorable school outcomes compared to younger entrants. Results also suggest that the benefits from delaying kindergarten entrance tend to be significantly larger for at-risk children.
