The link that was posted in this thread years back that contained a newsletter from her old school congratulating her after she got her role on Revolution and listing her as the class of 2000 is long dead. However here's a wayback link of it
https://web.archive.org/web/20120826062943/http://www.pembinatrails.ca/oakpark/Info/Newsletters/June 2012 Newsletter.pdf
"Former student, Tracy Spiridakos(Class of 2000)will be playing the lead role of Charlie in a new series staring in fall on NBC called Revolution. Tracy was a part of the theatre program here at OP and has worked extremely hard to land such a huge role."
Also the Winnipeg(her hometown) Free Press published an article and mentioned that her family moved back to Canada in 1992. Tracy herself stated in a couple of interviews that she was 9 when they moved back. This info along with the school newsletter listing her as in the Class of 2000 makes 1988(which a lot of sites have listed) being her birth year dubious. I'd trust these a lot more than those other sites. The majority of them likely just got that from other places that had 1988 listed. And I really doubt she's some super genius that graduated high school only just a few months after turning 12.
AFAIK she's always been pretty secretive about her age and has never publicly disclosed her birth year or age. I think what happened was that years ago some site such as either IMDB, Wikipedia etc put up 1988 and other sites took it as gospel and copied it. Stuff like this has happened in the past with other actors. Hell this apparently happened years ago when sites had Tracy's birth year listed as 1996. Google also has 1988 as her birth year, but that scrapes information from other websites and doesn't do any fact checking.
Something like this is also going on with her Chicago PD co-star Marina Squerciati. A lot of sites have her birth year listed as 1984. However some say that she was born in 1981 and graduated college in 2003.
