4th grade

Nine or ten

Fourth grade is the year of school following third grade, typically for children around nine or ten years old.

In the US, it falls in elementary school.

The phrase often modifies nouns to indicate appropriateness for that level: 4th grade math, a 4th grade reading level.

As an insult, it suggests immaturity: That's some 4th grade humor.
