fifth graders

Elementary school upperclassmen

Fifth graders are students in the fifth grade of school, typically ten or eleven years old.

The term often evokes a particular stage of childhood—old enough for some independence but still clearly kids: The fifth graders organized their own bake sale.

Like other grade-level terms, it works as shorthand for developmental stage and social dynamics as much as academic placement.
