6th grade

Pre-teen academic year

Sixth grade is the sixth year of formal schooling in the American system, typically for students aged eleven or twelve.

It marks the transition from elementary to middle school in most districts, though some systems place it as the final elementary year.

My son starts 6th grade next fall.

The ordinal form appears in compounds: a 6th-grade teacher, 6th-grade math.
