English Translation

Tom is now in seventh grade.

Is this correct? The French says “5th”, the English says “7th”, and the explanation says "2nd year of high school.

English Translation

Tom is now in the fifth year.

So that means that he is in 7th grade, the way that we think about it in the US… But in France, that is the fifth year, but year 8 of school. What happened to year 1?
