Sounds normal to me. Since my birthday is Oct, I was 12 in the 7th and 8th grade.

When I was 12 I was in 8th grade. That means you were 6 when you were in kindergarten?

Yes, that's why I mentioned my birth month. If you turned 5 by sept, you could get into kindergarten. My birthday is Oct, so I had to wait until I was almost 6.
