what grade is a 6 year old in usa
First grade First grade (called Year 2 in the UK) is the first grade in elementary school. It is the first school year after kindergarten in Canada and the USA. Children are usually 6â€“7 years old in this grade level.
Middle school Middle schools in the United States usually cover grades 5-8, 6-8,7-8, or 7-9. Historically, local public control (and private alternatives) have allowed for some variation in the organization of schools. Elementary school includes kindergarten through to sixth grade, or kindergarten through to fifth grade, i.e. up to age 12, but some elementary schools have 4 or 8 grades, i.e. up to ages 10 or 14[28] (also known as, the intermediate grades). Basic subjects are taught and students often remain in one or two classrooms throughout the school day, except for physical education, library, music, and art classes. In 2001, there were about 3.6 million children in each grade in the United States.[29] "Middle schools" and "junior high schools" are schools that span grades 6 to 8 and 7 to 8, respectively,[28] but junior high schools spanning grades 7 to 8 were common until the 1980s.
Sixth grade Sixth grade (equivalent to P7 in Scotland, Year 7 elsewhere in the UK, and Year 6 in Australia) is a year of education. In many nations, it is the first year of middle school or the last year of primary level (elementary). It is for students ages 11â€“12. This grade may be the last year of elementary school or the first year of middle school unless the student(s) has been held back.
