[General] grade or class

[kite]

Dear teachers,
In America, do you use "grade" or "class"?
For example: I teach English to students of grade 1 to 10. I teach English to students of class 1 to 10.
In our country, sometimes we use both. But which is commonly used in America?

Thanks.

Grade.

First grade through tenth grade is much more common than "grade 1 to 10."

(That would be a very unusual age range to teach. 9th - 12 grade is high school.)

I teach English to students of first grade through tenth grade.

In BE it's 'year'.

'I teach English to children in years four to six.'

'I teach English to children in years four to six.'

If I want to exclude fifth year, is it correct to say 'I teach English to children in years four and six.'?
