    Default I need the English word for....

    ...a student in the last grade. What are they called?
    I looked for it in dictionaries but couldn't find anything. My English teacher didn't know either, so I said that I'll look for it on teh enterwebz. Nothing found, yet.
    C'mon Someone with 1337 English skills sure can help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    PS: I'm sorry for making a thread about this 8<

    I thought senior was just someone in the higher grades, but if that's the term, I'll keep that in mind . Thanks.

    what do you mean by "last" grade? as in the person who is highest grade level in his/her school? or someone who is on the last in the ranking list?

    Senior is probably your answer. Senior can be used not just for high schools by the way. They use it in college too, not to mention actual workplaces.

    In high school, from first to last is:

    9th - A Freshman.
    10th - A Sophomore.
    11th - A Junior.
    12th - A Senior.

    Middle schools and elementary schools usually don't have a specific name for a grade level.


    And yes, colleges do use the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior titles as well.

    in my high school, we used to call each one by a slang word
    9th - Freshman - Freshie
    10th - Sophomore - Still Freshie
    11th - Junior - Junnie (don't ask me why...)
    12th - Senior - Senior (cause no one fked with seniors...lol)

    Same here, Kid, but we only had a name for the Freshman cause everybody hates them.
