Fifth grade


Fifth grade is a year of education in many nations, and some other regions call it Year 5. In the United States, the fifth grade is the fifth and last school year of elementary school in most schools. Students are usually 10-11 years old unless the child has been held back or skipped a grade. In England and Wales, the equivalent is Year 6. In Ireland, the equivalent is 5th class.
