Dear ProZ members,

I'm finding it difficult to understand how the US school system classification works.
This is a reporter talking about the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown:

Breaking News coming to us from Newtown Ct, Sandy Hook Elementary, this is K-4 kids, where there has been a mass shooting this morning.

What information does "K-4 kids" exactly conveys here? Is he saying children from a certain age to a certain age attend the school?

Thank you!

però, noto ora:
Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children aged between 6 and 7 years old,...

quindi alla fine parlerei di "prime classi delle elementari" o, appunto, "bambini di 6-7 anni"
