fourth grader

Nine-year-old pupil

A fourth grader is a student in the fourth grade of school, typically nine or ten years old.

In the United States, fourth grade falls in the middle of elementary school: My fourth grader is learning long division.

The term often evokes a particular developmental stage—old enough to read independently but still clearly a child.
