twelve year old
Sixth grader, typically
A twelve year old is a person who has lived twelve years—at the cusp of adolescence, no longer a small child but not yet a teenager.
The hyphenated form twelve-year-old works as an adjective: a twelve-year-old girl, twelve-year-old whiskey.
Without hyphens, it's typically a noun: The twelve year old scored the winning goal.
