"American Grades Question"

Just wondering if anyone can answer a query about the American grades system.

I need to know (for an English language investigation) which American grades have which age students in them.

So it might be like
First Grade = 7/8 years old

I really don't know what it is, though.

If anyone can help it would be cool.

Cheers.

I'm allowed to generalise, it's my project.

I've got the scientific-looking formula

Age = [grade + 5] which does the job fine and dandily.

-----------
Flesch-Kincaid Grade level
Women’s
Closer = 6.8
Cosmopolitan = 11
New Woman = 6.6
Mean average = 8.13
Converted to age = 13

Men’s
Ice = 10.8
Front = 10.2
Esquire = 12
Mean average = 11
Converted to age =16

So the men’s magazine editors letter’s have a higher reading age than women’s

Thats what I'm doing if you were at all curious.

It should be noted (and it's included in the link I gave) that the Federal Government has no Education system in place. Each state runs their own system how they see fit.

So if you're thinking of generalising, make sure you don't overlook this.

First grade = 6ish

Coolage.

I can figure it from there, cheers.

Generally, school districts are divided into elementary schools, middle schools or junior high schools, and high schools. Elementary schools contain students in kindergarten and 1st through 5th or 6th grades. Many children go to kindergarten when they are five years old. Children begin first grade at age six.
