“The internet” says grade 6 = 11-12yo, which for my reference is Year 7 in NZ, or the first year of intermediate (Y7 and Y8; between primary and secondary school) which is a fairly low bar.
So I checked the OECD and we are basically average; just above the US in the 2023 data. So better but not much better.
Mapping this to age to help.
