And 8,644 junior-high students are at least three years older than other kids in their classes because they were held back several times. But the city provides only 446 seats in alternative programs for students who want to enter ninth grade but are more than 15 years old, according to city data. Overage middle schoolers are twice as likely to drop out, studies show. \u201cThey\u2019re significantly older than their peers, they\u2019re stuck with students who are 11 to 13 years old, and most of the Department of Education\u2019s options are not available to them,\u201d said Ashley Grant, a lawyer for the advocacy group, which got the data through a Freedom of Information filing. <a href=\"http:\/\/nypost.com\/2014\/09\/12\/citys-middle-children-getting-older-study\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Li atik<\/em><\/a><\/p>","":null,"settings":""}}],"relationships":{"":null,"article_type":[83],"topics":false,"misc_topics":[193,196,197]},"misc":{"search_results":{"":null,"excerpt":"","featured_image":""}}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
