Age Fit Score by age
One video does not have one score. Every video is evaluated against each age band separately, so a clip that suits a four-year-old may be far too young for a ten-year-old — and the other way round. These are Khan Academy's averages.
| Age band | Score | Rating | On the default threshold of 80 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ages 2–4 | 18.3 | Unsafe | Filtered out |
| Ages 5–7 | 58.7 | Moderate | Filtered out |
| Ages 8–10 | 77.8 | Good | Filtered out |
| Ages 11–13 | 71 | Good | Filtered out |
Khan Academy scores highest for ages 8–10 at 77.8, and lowest for ages 2–4 at 18.3. No age band clears WayTube's default threshold of 80, so on default settings the channel would mostly be filtered out — individual videos may still pass, since every video is scored on its own. Its scored videos are mostly educational, science and reference.
The rating and the decision are different things. A band rated Good can still sit below the threshold — the rating describes the content, and only the threshold on your child's profile decides what they see. You can move it either way.
