A sophomore is a student in the 10th grade, which is the second year of high school. Typically, sophomores are around 15 to 16 years old. This grade follows the freshman year (9th grade) and precedes the junior year (11th grade). Sophomore year is a time when students continue to explore their interests and often start thinking more about their future plans, including college and career options. In summary:
- Freshman = 9th grade (1st year of high school)
- Sophomore = 10th grade (2nd year of high school)
- Junior = 11th grade (3rd year)
- Senior = 12th grade (4th year)
So, a sophomore is specifically in the 10th grade.
