What age are you supposed to be in 7th grade?

Answer 1

Ages range from 11 to 16 because some people skip grades and some people get held back. Also junior high is 7th-9th grade not 8th.

Answer 2

well, it depends. if you are a super genius you might get in a year early or if you are a flunkie then you might get in at age 20 but normally you get in at ages 11 - 13

Answer 3

This can be a little tricky, and it varies depending on the child's birthday, the cutoff date for beginning school in whatever state they live in, when the school year starts, and whether or not the child was ever held back.

Generally, children start kindergarten at age 5, so they should be 12 when they begin 7th grade. In most states, they require kids to be 5 by September 1st to start kindergarten (meaning that in 7th grade, a child would have to be 12 by then). School usually starts in late August, in which case the very youngest students won't quite be 12 yet, but again, they would be by Sept. 1st. In some places school doesn't start until early September, so in that case, the youngest will have just turned 12 and the oldest will already be turning 13 right as school begins.

But, the cutoff dates can vary a bit. Even though it's Sept. 1st in most states, it can be as early as August and as late as December. If the cutoff is in August, this ensures that NO 4 year olds can enter kindergarten and that also means no 11 year olds in 7th grade. So all students will be at least 12 and the oldest will have already been 13 for a couple weeks or even a month when school starts. But if the cutoff is not until December, then children can potentially be 11 for nearly half of their 7th grade year.

But, all kids whose birthdays fall after the cutoff date but before the end of the year (usually late May or early June) will turn 13 sometime during their 7th grade year. And if they have a birthday in the summer after school has ended, then they will just be 12 for all of 7th grade and then turn 13 the following summer.

Finally, a kid could be as old as 14 in 7th grade. This could happen if they ever struggled and had to repeat a year. They would start the year at 13 and turn 14, rather than starting at 12 and turning 13. Or if their birthday isn't until the summer, then they'll already be 13 when they start 7th grade but won't actually turn 14 until after they've finished the year.

Answer 4

For those children who start Kindergarten at age 5, they will be 7 years old in 2nd grade. Some children, however, start school later so it is not uncommon for an 8 year old to be in 2nd grade.

Answer 5

I was 10 years old,but in average most kids were in 7th grade when they were 12-13.

Answer 6

Ages range from 11 to 16 because some people skip grades and some people get held back. Also junior high is 7th-9th grade not 8th.

Answer 7

12 or 13 usually, but different places may have different rules, so you might find 11 year olds there too.
