My son is 4 yrs old.will he get admission in school?for which class?

Question

i want admission in public school in chicago.

Answer 1

Your son would be eligible to attend pre-school if he is 4.Check with the Chicago school district to see if they have a pre-school program at the schools and for information on Head Start.

He cannot attend kindergarten unless he is 5 on or before September 1st in the state of Illinois.

Answer 2

First, check out the web site for Chicago public schools, or call them to ask about the cut-off date for birthdays for children entering kindergarten.  In many states, the child has to be 5 by the end of August but each state has its own rules.  If he's too young for this year's kindergarten, investigate Head Start, which has an excellent program for 4-year-olds.  Some states have a state-funded preschool for 4-year-olds, but I don't know about Illinois.

Answer 3

In addition to age and residency requirements, districts may choose whether to consider an assessment of a child's readiness for school.

According to the Illinois School Code, children who will be 5 years old on or before September 1 may begin school. Based upon an assessment of a child's school readiness, a school district may choose to permit a child to attend school prior to that date, or it may choose not to do so. In a school district operating on a year-round school basis, children who will be age 5 within 30 days after a term starts may begin to attend school that term. For the full text of this code, see

Illinois school code, 105 ILCS 5/ § 10-20.12. School year-School age.
