What age are you in second grade?

You usually begin at age seven, and turn eight either sometime during the school year or the summer after, depending on when your birthday is. But some kids who are held back a year might turn nine during 2nd grade. Some kids may also be six if they started school early or if their state has a later cut-off date for starting kindergarten (some states have cut-off dates as late as December, meaning a child doesn't even have to be 5 until December to begin kindergarten).
