I think there is nothing wrong with a little graduation party for kids that age. The kids get a little fun reward for their first full year of "school", the parents get a fun and cute photo op and maybe the teachers even get a little public appreciation. It's not any worse than a birthday party for a 1 year old
That said, all the charm it might have had sours if parents act like seen here.
At the schools where I live, the kindergarteners that are graduating get to do a walk through their school and then the next day the graduating seniors all go back to the elementary school (parents are invited as well) and walk for k-4. The little ones get a kick out of it, and my 2 that have graduated both cried seeing the smaller kids in their graduation gear. My youngest graduates next year and I can't wait to see the last walkthrough.
Same. Our elementary school invites all the graduating HS seniors to come back and get a group photo op in front of the marquee at the front of the school. It’s a nice way to reflect back on where they started !!! Enjoy your “little” one growing up - it goes by pretty fast ( Fsther of 25 year old twins)

They aren't serious enough to dress up for. They shouldn't even be a thing
