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 5, so they should be 10 when they begin 5th grade. In most states, they require kids to be 5 by September 1st to start kindergarten (meaning that in 5th grade, a child would have to be 10 by then). School usually starts in late August, in which case the very youngest children won't quite be 10 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 10 and the oldest will already be turning 11 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 9 year olds in 5th grade. So all children will be at least 10 and the oldest will have already been 11 for a couple weeks or even a month when school starts. But then if the cutoff is not until December, then children can potentially be 9 for nearly half of their 5th grade year.
But, all children whose birthdays fall after the cutoff date but before the end of the school year (usually late May or early June) will turn 11 sometime during their 5th grade year. And if they have a birthday in the summer after school has ended, then they will just be 10 for all of 5th grade and then turn 11 the following summer.
Finally, a child could be as old as 12 in 5th grade. This could happen if they ever struggled in school and had to repeat a year. They would start the year at 11 and turn 12, rather than starting at 10 and turning 11. Or if their birthday isn't until the summer, then they'll already be 11 when they start 5th grade but won't actually turn 12 until the following summer.
