The Fourth Grade at Springfield Elementary School is Bart Simpson's class. It was taught by Ms. Krabappel (until Season 25 episode, "The Man Who Grew Too Much", due to the death of Marcia Wallace). Most of the kids are 10 years old.

Some of the names on the students papers are Jamie, Lafond and Adrian Belew and since the names of most of the boys in Bart's class have been revealed, these names could belong to the Boy with shades, the Buck-toothed boy or the Lewis look-alike.^[20]
In one episode there are only 16 seats in Mrs. Krabappel's classroom. Two seats in the front row are taken by Ishmael and Ezekiel, while the other seat to Bart's right is reserved for the new student, Samantha Stanky.^[7]
At one point, Jimbo Jones and Kearney Zzyzwicz are shown sitting in Ms. Krabappel's class.^[16] However, they are sixth-grade students who frequently cut class and ditch school. It is possible that they were present in the classroom to redeem something they failed in the fourth grade, or for some other similar reason.
One of Bart's classmates greatly resembles Levi Bernstein, one of Bart's distant cousins from the Bernstein family side of the Simpson family tree.^[21]
After Marcia Wallace's death, Krabappel was gradually retired from the show. The class went through a few substitute teachers before the position was inherited by Edna's second husband, Ned Flanders.^[13]
