I don't see any evidence of the school on that road now. There are three children of Frederick William Koberstein Jr. in these examinations. Assuming the Standard numbers are grades similar to grades 1 through 7 here in the united states we can calculate approximate birth years as follows
Name Grade Age Calculated birth Birth
Alvina Koberstein Standard V 11 1892 ?
Otto Koberstein Standard IV 10 1893 1866
George Koberstein Standare II 8 1895 1893Furthermore the last names of their classmates are probably families of similar ages from this area, maybe some of them even had ancestors that immigrated from the same location.
