    so, Grade 3, Class 2)

    Could also mean floor 3, classroom 2. I think I recall Japan and other Asian countries count the ground floor as the 1st floor, do technically it would be 2-2 if we had japanese-style schools here in the u.s

      Nah. It’s grade three, class two. Could be elementary, middle, or high school grade three. That’s the way all the schools in Japan and Korea do it. Rooms with floor numbers that aren’t in schools are typically all one digit with no hyphen.
