Grade Placement at Oakdale Academy

Recommendations for grade placement at Oakdale Academy are based on three main factors: the placement assessment, the student’s birthdate, and the student’s educational career as a whole.  The most recent grade completed at a different academic institution is taken into account, but does not necessarily guarantee advancement in grade level when entering Oakdale Academy.  We have found consistently that students who are more mature and developmentally advanced are more successful in Oakdale Academy’s rigorous curriculum and advanced track in math.  Therefore, our birthdate guidelines per grade are as follows:

Entering grade (for 2025-2026):

Jr Kindergarten- Must be 4 before August 1, 2025
Kindergarten- Must be 5 before August 1, 2025
First- Must be 6 before August 1, 2025
Second- Must be 7 before August 1, 2025
Third- Must be 8 before August 1, 2025
Fourth- Must be 9 before August 1, 2025
Fifth- Must be 10 before August 1, 2025
Sixth- Must be 11 before August 1, 2025
Seventh- Must be 12 before August 1, 2025
Eighth- Must be 13 before August 1, 2025
Ninth- Must be 14 before August 1, 2025
Tenth- Must be 15 before August 1, 2025

We appreciate your interest and hope to assist you any way we can.  If you have questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Jennifer Benninger at 248.481.9039.
