Moving your kid to a new school or grade? You’re probably wondering which grade matches their age. It’s not always clear-cut, especially if you’re unfamiliar with how U.S. schools work.
Generally, kids in the same grade are within a year of each other in age. Of course, some children skip grades, repeat a year, or start school later – so there are exceptions.
We’ve created a simple age-to-grade reference from Pre-K through 12th grade to help you figure out where your child should be.
