To begin kindergarten in the state of Illinois, a child should be 5 years old on or before September 1 of the kindergarten year and live within the boundaries of the school district.
The Kindergarten entrance cut-off age in the U.S. varies from one state to another. In most states, a child must be at least five years old before starting school. Therefore, children are typically at least eight years old by the time they enter third grade. There are a few exceptions to this generalization. If a child skips a grade, he might be younger than eight. Additionally, if the child is held back, he might be nine or ten in the third grade.
