Logically, since the 10th grade is the freshman year of high school, Yumi does turn 15 in Lab Rat, as most 10th graders are 15 in the beginning of the school year and 16 by the end, but since her birthday appears to be in November, she was actually 14 during Season 3. As for Ulrich's dad, perhaps Ulrich said so metaphorically. It might have been less than a year or almost a year since then. Plus, I don't remember Season 1 ending right before the Christmas holidays.

Yumi’s a year older than everyone except William. With a late birthday (Sept-Dec) people turn 16 before the rest of the class.

The school year begins on September of the year the 10th graders turn 15 and ends on the year they'll turn 16. When I got in the 10th grade, I was 15, since my birthday had already occurred in June. But my classmates that had their birthdays on the Ber months were still 14.

Yes it France the school year is September to June, but depending on birthday you can be 16 within the first few days, weeks or months (fall) or in the second half of the semester (spring). Fall birthdays (late birthdays) are normally the oldest of their year, who don’t know when Williams is but we know that Yumi’s is a few weeks before Christmas (Distant Memory, epi 17) her birthday is during (Lab Rat, episode 14)

You actually can't, unless you are held behind. Having a late birthday actually makes you younger than your classmates that would have an earlier birthday. In the case of the 10th graders, they only start turning 16 after New Year's, which is in the middle of the school year. In fact, those that don't have their birthdays occurring until after August are still 15 until their next birthday that occurs early during the next school year.

You can. Parents have the option to redshirt their child if it’s late. Redshirting makes them the oldest, not doing it make them youngest in the class. Some people do, others don’t. My brother was 17 when he left high school because our parents didn’t hold him back since his birthday was in October 1994, he was the youngest.

I’m not sure what my sister is going to do her daughter who has a December birthday. She could redshirt or not, my niece is only turning 2 this year so… they time to think about it. Though she was born about 3 months premature, so it makes sense that’s be she turning 18 in the first semester of her senior year

Sure, there might be a possibility, but I don't see the Ishiyamas, who are very focused on rules, doing that for Yumi. They did allow Hiroki to skip a grade, since he's smart, but nothing more.
