How it's used
Refers specifically to the academic level within a school system. While it functions as a noun, it is almost always preceded by a school type like 小學 or 中學 to provide context. It is distinct from 班, which refers to a specific classroom or group of students rather than the academic year level.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 年級 with 班. Remember that 年級 is the grade level, such as Primary Four, whereas 班 is the specific class, such as 4A or 4B.
