I agree with Claire that the "1" will be the number of the class within that year group.

Thanks, Maggie!
agree Charles Davis : Year 10 in England and Wales, Year 11 in N. Ireland, Secondary 3 or 4 in Scotland depending on date of birth. It's a nightmare. 1 is indeed the number of the class.

Grade 9

Grade 9 is the American equivalent for 3eme
The 1 stands for the number of the class among other classes of the same grade. Therefore, you would normally have 3eme 1, 3eme 2...
This is because there are too many pupils to fit in only one class so we have to divide them.

Schools in Ivory Coast have the same rules as in France, hence the division of classes of the same level is the same.

neutral B D Finch : As Charles points out below, it could be 3, 4, 10 or 11 for the UK, which is what the Asker wants, depending which constituent country she means, (none of which matches the US version).
