Hi, sorry it took me a while to reply! I was waiting for official info on the new movie as said, and also took the time to look for as many timeline references (quoted) as I could, so I hope that might help should the info be wanted here.

- The sequel movie for Digimon Adventure since released information stating Taichi and Yamato's ages to both be 22 in the new movie. Since Sora should technically be the same age, this would apply to her as well, despite the timing issue. - While scouring the Wikia for sources I saw on Chizuru's page she was confirmed 8th grade and: "She is in middle school and is the same class as Yamato "Matt" Ishida." This being confirmed for Yamato would also confirm 8th grade for Taichi and Sora in 02 (technically Meiko as well), 9th for Jou, and 7th for Koushiro and Mimi. The Tri animedia article did state 2nd year of Junior high (8th grade) for Takeru and Hikari as well, which could also have their grades adjusted accordingly. Their ages, as well - if Taichi is 22 in .tri, for example, and 8th grade in 02 at 14, that would confirm 7th grade at 13 for Koushiro + Mimi, even if it doesn't reflect the real-world school system re: ages (but it does with grades); the rest of them could have their ages/grades adjusted as well. I made some edits again but please fix accordingly if anything looks wrong with the references - to be honest I feel the note that 'they would be this age in a real-world system' (which was already included before I began editing) is really all that's needed to clarify the issue, but yeah. - I found a ton more references hinting at grades and the timeline in the post-Adventure drama cds, I'm not sure if these can be used? But, there's something really interesting concerning Sora's issue which I'm not sure you were aware of: (my findings): "Sora’s drama cd track mentions a possible reference to her still being elementary school-aged as of October 2000: “I’m thinking that next time, I will try reading one of your [Sora’s father]’s books. Mom keeps them locked safely behind the shelves. There’s so many of them! I wonder if they’re still too difficult for an [elementary]-schooler to understand…” http://digitalscratch.pmsinfirm.org/457 I'm sorry for any further confusion caused by that but this would definitely be a canonical source that can be used for Sora's age in Adventure/02, despite the OWG timing issue. I'm pretty sure the drama cds can be taken as canonical references but that's my personal opinion, so I'll leave it to you to decide? - when adding in Taichi's new age/grade from the sequel movie I was uncertain what to list the sequel movie as ('sequel movie' seemed too long) so I just used 'sequel' for now. If any references look off please correct them accordingly, but they're all canonical references and "official statements", so I don't think they should be left out or deleted just because of the OWG timing issue.

and perhaps the most significant quote for the matter of Sora's age: “ Q: How long have Meiko and Meikoomon been partners? A: Meiko’s digivice are the same model as Taichi and party’s, and she’s also the same age as them… ” (*emphasis mine) (since Meiko is in the same grade as Taichi, Yamato, and Sora, this would imply them all being the 'same age' as quoted.) - from Animage magazine interview (2016) for Ketsui. http://digi-egg.tumblr.com/post/148673310712/animage-q-and-a-q-were-the-kids-that-were
