How to say "I'm in year twelve"

How do you say "I'm in year twelve" or "I'm a year twelve student" in Spanish?

Would you say "Estoy en año doce" or would you need to include estudiante in there somewhere? Bearing in mind that this is in context, not a standalone sentence.

Thanks,

Ryan

I would say Estoy en duodécimo curso or just Estoy en duodécimo

I admit it sounds weird even to me, as I've never heard that expression with year twelve because in Spain, where I live, the maximum level you can reach is year 6, but it's common to say Estoy en sexto or maybe Estudio sexto (using a ordinal rather than a cardinal numer).

Duodécimo is the ordinal of twelve (it is also correct decimosegundo and some use doceavo although this last one it's incorrect).

Estoy en el año doce or 'Soy un estudiante en el año doce'.
