Abstract

The influence of school entrance age upon the academic achievement of 434 eight grade students was examined. Students were divided into three age groups. Comparison on five California Achievement Test subtests and IQ showed no significant differences except between sexes on the Mechanics of English and Spelling subtests.

A biased sample made comparisons of the same students at the twelfth grade impossible. Comparisons between the students who did and those who did not take the twelfth grade test revealed significant differences.
