How does that apply to windows server with active directory for a school ?

Does that mean that the admin will have to manage dob of every student when creating accounts ?

So, I have a button "I'm older than 18" on my app but the signal is "under 13", I can decide that the user is older than 18 ?

So because there is no requirement for the age to be accurate, it would be pretty easy to say "all student accounts are the age of the youngest allowed school entrant for that school year", right? That resolves the age issue and also prevents both PII leakage as well as possible school bullying opportunities.
