How old is Roger?

He seems a lot older than the other kids in Doug's class, maybe Roger got left back a few years?

In the episode "Doug Graduates", Roger mentions he has been in the Sixth Grade for three years so that would mean he should be in the Ninth Grade which would place him around 14/15.

The third year was the end of the year they had just had, so he would've been in 8th, making him 13/14.

Holy crap! Who fails the 6th grade 3 times? It used to be cool to be held back when you are in grade school. I mean it was cool to be the oldest kid in class.

It stops being cool when you are 21 years old still in high school while everyone your age is starting their junior or sophomore year of college. 

I think he was 13 here, but 14 in Disney's Doug.

He was 14.

If they failed a grade all the time, would they mean that they would have to stay in that grade even when they become adults lol?.

We don't get held back in schools in the UK. We don't have a graduation either, but we do have prom in the last year at school. I don't understand why people get held back in schools in America, and why do you not graduate if you have missed a certain number of school days and haven't done well with your grades?.

approximately 14 since he did mention in one episode that he was in the sixth grade for 3 long years.
