grade level
Academic placement measure
Grade level refers to the stage of education a student has reached, numbered sequentially from kindergarten through twelfth grade in American schools: reading at a fourth-grade level, material appropriate for her grade level.
The term also describes the difficulty of written text, measured by vocabulary and sentence complexity: This document is written at an eighth-grade level.
Something at grade level meets the expected standard for a particular stage.
