Remember in The Chaperone where SpongeBob says "I couldn't even get a date for my own Junior Prom?" Does this imply that in season 1 Pearl was in between 11-13? Or did SpongeBob imply "junior prom" as Pearl's junior year of high school? Honestly, the first one could make sense since Pearl didn't turn 16 until Whale of a Birthday. But I dunno, SpongeBob probably meant 11th grade and not 6-8.
 
Junior prom = junior year of high school
Episodes definitely aren't in chronological order (or really any order actually)... so I'd say whale of a birthday would come before this episode in any sort of timeline

Especially considering that in some later episodes SB doesn't seem like he's been through 11th grade himself. (I mean, really, in earlier episodes he at least manages to pull of SOME measure of maturity... but that's a whole other debate I won't get into right now...)

She could have possibly joined the 11th grade a year younger like 15. Some people choose to enter school earlier than others.
 
Yeah... what are we even talking about anyways. It's not like we know anything about the Bikini Bottom school systems :P
 
Maybe SpongeBob is a year older than Pearl and since he couldn't go for his, he would definitely go to hers so she can have the opportunity he never had.

Junior Prom = prom for freshmen & sophmores

Pearl is probably 15 in The Chaperone and SpongeBob is 16 or 17.

So... according to that logic, SB is living alone and is out of school at the age of 16?

I thought Spongebob was born on July 14, 1986.

I remember hearing from somewhere that despite this age, Stephen says it wasn't canon to the series. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Cartoons usually don't age (I always imagined SpongeBob to be 25 or so) that's why I was curious if Pearl did or did not.
 
In the movie, they referred to SpongeBob as a kid. Could mean two things but I'm sure everyone thought that he was under 18. And seeing as how the movie is considered the end of the series…

SpongeBob is a childish young adult, probably in the early 20s

He has a house and bills and lives away from his parents

We've been over this before people
This is what I thought when I was a kid, and even despite SpongeBob's lack of maturity in later seasons, I see no reason to think any different.
He was probably talking about the prom from his junior year of high school, and Pearl's dance was most likely the same kind of event.
