5th thru 8th grade
I would just go with the above. In the state of Utah where I live, 5th and 6th grades belong to elementary school, and 7th and 8th grades belong to middle school.

Comment: "Thanks to all the answerers, I am going to use 'through' here, but in accordance with the rules of Kudos I don't think I can not award the points purely because of a mispelling. In fact when I saw thru I just thought it was sms-speak and you meant through anyway. As a UK English speaker the fact that 'thru' is used at all is quite shocking to me :)"
