Ariana is six years old when the Muggle boys attack her and, IIRC, only

No. Ariana is fourteen when her mother dies (according to Aberforth (pg 
565, US edition) "Then, when she was fourteen...see I wasn't there."

Dumbledore came home after his mother's death - the confrontation with 
Grindelwald that resulted in Ariana's death took place that summer - so 
depending on Ariana's birthday she would be 14 or 15 when she died.
