Obviously, not without building a bunch of extra stuff.  You would need to know:
None of these things are built into Koha anywhere.  Even if you get "Accelerated Reader" levels for some of your MARC records, for example, the main failure point will be that most of your books will not be classified as neatly as your question suggests. 

In my opinion, having automated 250+ K-12 libraries, this approach is a waste of time.  It's good to have descriptive data that adds context to a search, but requiring that data for *every* record and forcing limits based on it has been largely unsuccessful, leading to fewer hits for valid searches, in my experience.

Is it possible to force students to only be able to search items that are listed at their level (ex: Elementary, Middle School and High School) without do three separate installations?
