It depends on your certification. The current exam for elementary school covers grades PreK through 6th grade. Most district's list the campus and grade level vacancy, so when you apply, you will apply for that specific grade level. Keep in mind, you may get hired for the grade level of your choice but administration has the final decision on whether or not you will remain with that grade level. There are different reasons that the decision to switch you to a different grade level may occur. For example, if it's due to low enrollment for that particular grade level, then the prinicpal will decide to place you on a grade level that needs more teachers.
