Yes, grades are the same as 'years' in the UK, however 7th grade is actually year 8. So people in 7th grade will have students aged 12-13, and in the UK kids aged 12-13 are in year 8. This is because in the UK we have one extra year of schooling than the US, yet we both finish at age 18, so we start earlier. So in the US the last year of schooling is 12th grade, which is year 13 in the UK.
