I mean people say 'i'm in 7th grade' or whatever so how old are you in each grade? Like in the UK you're 13 in year 8, 14 in year 9, 15 in year 10 etc - though it depends when your birthday is course but i was wondering what UK school years are compared to US school years? Hope this makes sense. i am in year 11 and i am 16 years old so what grade would i be in?

The years are the same. America just uses the word "grade" instead of "year".

American school grades are about the same and yes of course depending on the students birthdays.

Most states allow a child to start Kindergarten if they turn 5 by September 1. Then it is in grades (years) from 1 to 12. To be in grade 12 (a senior in high school) you are supposed to be 17 by September 1. Some states have different cutoff dates (when I was in school it was December 31, but the law has moved it back and back over the years.) It sounds like the age ranges are very similar to the UK.

Theres a year difference. A Year 7 in england is 11-12 whilst americans is 12-13. So theirs is a year lower than ours.
