Not one of them has, to my knowledge, broken a three-quarter inch thick piece of reinforced glass in their school

You're making it out as if the kid kicked out the entire panel. Most likely the kid threw something at the glass and it got a crack in it. Not a sign of superman strength.

The article says "broke", not "cracked."

If it is indeed reinforced glass (which is standard in NYC public schools for fire code reasons), it isn't superhuman strength - but he either threw something quite heavy quite hard that could have seriously injured someone, or he deliberately pounded on the glass with a heavy object until it broke.

That ain't normal. And, like I said, that is a suspiciously large 5 year old as described.

BTW - there are a ton of immigrant kids in NYC schools who do not have a birth certificate on file but only a parental affidavit as to their age.

These are often lowballed by the parents to allow kids to have less challenging schoolwork and for baseball purposes.

No — just the sign of a brat that needs a good butt-bustin’.
