Question about English (US)
Is there a word in English to represent students in upper-grade levels compared with the speaker? For example, what word should I put in the following sentence? This question is too hard, so we might consult __ ? In both Chinese and Japanese, I am quite certain that there is a word for it like 先輩. I am not quite sure if the word "high-year students or higher-year students" works here or not.

“We might consult more advanced students” is what I would say.

It's not really an everyday word but:
upperclassman
upperclassmen
That's what we usually translate 先輩 to, but we don't usually use it in our own everyday conversation

@KojirouHattori We have the word “upperclassmen” which means students in the last 2 years of high school or college. For what you’re thinking, you would probably say “an older student” or “a student a year above.”

That's what I was thinking, just from reading manga 😜
Or we could throw the confusing American high school terms in:
