"Grade level" should be re-thunk as "age level". ALTHOUGH i do have some kids in sunday school that can't read that are 12yo. Not sure how they get thru their schooling but they're great kids!
Here they have to pass a grade level test every 3rd grade level. So while we didn't bother with grade levels in our school, my dc did have to pass the test for our state in 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th grades. I don't know how a non-reading 12 y/o child would be able to do that. But I realize laws vary by state.
