What is a Freshman senator?

Answer 1

Usually age 14-15. Since kids generally start kindergarten at age 5, they would be 14 when they start freshman year (9th grade). And most of them will turn 15 sometime during the year. If their birthday falls after the cutoff date and before school gets out for summer break, then they will turn 15, and if their birthday is in the summer, they'll just be 14 the whole year and turn 15 right after finishing.

However, this can vary based on some things, such as the cutoff date in whatever state they go to school in, and whether or not any of the kids have ever been held back.

Sometimes it's possible for there to be some 13 year olds in 9th grade...in MOST cases, they will be 14 within a couple weeks of school starting. Most states require you to be 5 by September 1st to start kindergarten, so you'd have to be 14 by that same day in 9th grade. But cutoffs can actually range from August to December. If the cutoff isn't until December, then some freshman can potentially be 13 for nearly half of the year. On the flip side, if the cutoff is in August, that ensures that NO child will still be 4 on the first day of kindergarten, so everyone is at least 5 and the oldest are already turning 6. So in that case, all freshman would have to be at least 14 and some would already be 15 or turning 15 right at the start of school.

It's also possible for an freshman to be as old as 16, if they ever struggled and had to repeat a year of school. They would start the year at 15 and turn 16, rather than starting at 14 and turning 15. Or if they have a summer birthday then they won't actually turn 16 until right after finishing 9th grade.
