im not sure about the ages, but the whole 1-A thing is easy. the one stands for the year their class is in, so 1 woukd be first years in high school. so its their first year in high school. in manga and animes, the classes always compete, like 1-A is kicking 1-B's @$!%#!!!!! that kind of stuff. okay, so the letter is probably to tell the classes apart, like instead in america we call it Mrs. So and so's class, or class 213, or something like that. their classes are just called 1-A,1-B, 2-1, 2-C, etc. hope i helped you out!! ;) good luck! :D

In Japan, typically an 8 year old will be in Elementary School grade 3, 9 year old grade 4 and 10 year old in grade 5, but it will also depend on when their birthday is. The classrooms will usually contain 30-40 students and be labeled either 3-A, 3-B, 3-C (grade 3, class A, etc), or 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 (grade 3, class 1, etc). The system used will depend on the school.

We spend 6 years in elementary school and 3 years in junior high and high schools. When you are, you will be in the 3rd year of elementary school. And 4th and 5th when you are 9 and 10. 1-A means you are in the 1st year of either elementary, junior high or high school. And A means class A. One grade could have more than 1 classes. In that case, we will have 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, etc.

8 years old- Elementary Grade 3 9 years old- Elementary Grade 4 10 years old- Elementary Grade 5 About the classes, in Japanese schools, the teachers move around from classes to classes unlike America. Therefore, there are a few classes in each year, hence the 1-A, 1-B. 1 in '1-A' refers to the year of the students in the class, while the A refers to the class. Japan's education system: 6 years in Elementary school, 3 years in Junior High, 3 years in High school. A 11 year old will be Elementary school Grade 6, but next year when he is 12 he will be in Junior High Grade 1.
