In second grade kids are 7 to 8 years old. Students will often start second grade at seven years of age and complete it at 8 years of age.
I created a table below that shows the ages of second grade students in relation to all the other grade levels K-12.
| Grade | Age |
|---|---|
| Kindergarten | 5-6 years |
| 1st | 6-7 years |
| 2nd | 7-8 years |
| 3rd | 8-9 years |
| 4th | 9-10 years |
| 5th | 10-11 years |
| 6th | 11-12 years |
| 7th | 12-13 years |
| 8th | 13-14 years |
| 9th | 14-15 years |
| 10th | 15-16 years |
| 11th | 16-17 years |
| 12th | 17-18 years |
What Is After Second Grade?
After second grade is third grade, during third grade students are eight to nine years old.
Once third grade is done then they just keep moving through the grade levels until they reach 12th grade, the last year of high school in the United States.
Allen is an 8th grade teacher in a public school district of a Chicago suburb.
