Kathryn, if I'm not mistaken, Tom Riddle says to Harry that he preserved his 16 year old self in the pages of the diary. So assuming that all Hogwarts' students begin their training at the age of 11, then it would stand to reason that that at the age of 16, Tom was in his 5th year at Hogwarts. So that narrows it down a little further as well.
