APA Style Blog by Chelsea Lee If you write about students in elementary, middle, or high school, then you’ve had to consider how to write grade numbers: eighth grade? 8th grade? Grade 8? Which is right? Should there be a hyphen? In APA Style, the rules for presenting numbers apply to the presentation of grade numbers. Grade + a Numeral When the word grade is followed by a numeral, always capitalize grade and use a numeral for the grade number. Ordinal Number + Grade When writing a grade in its ordinal form, use words for Grades 1–9 and numerals for Grades 10, 11, and 12. However, if an ordinal number 10 or above starts a sentence, then use words. Also, if you are writing four or more grades in the same sentence, then use numerals for all of them. Hyphens With Grade Numbers Use a hyphen with a grade number when the ordinal form is used as a compound adjective before a noun. If several ordinal grades are presented in a series of compound adjectives, then use hyphens with each. Grade Names Without Numbers
