When I went to school we skipped 4th grade going from 3rd to 5th, so our 7th grade was equivalent to the 6th grade in the US

Yes if we talk about most of ex-USSR countries during the transition to 11-grade system. Some switched to 12, Lithuania switched back to 10 so grade comparison is a mess. To add some, that switch back in 1990 was done via extending elementary school, so actual 5th grade was equal in both 10- or 11-year program.
