Questions: Might be offtopic about the story but is there a site for Mion x Keiichi pix? Also, I need a official confirmation about the children's ages, because some people told me Keiichi is the same age as Rena while others told me he's 1 year older but he's still in the same grade as her.
The Japanese school year starts in around April I believe (according to the original Higurashi VN... and if my memory isn't wrong). I know that it's early in the year.

Keiichi's birthday is in April. Rena's birthday is in July. The story of Higurashi takes place between both months in June. So Keiichi is in the same grade as Rena, but because the story takes place between both of their birthdays, he's technically older than she is. Though, they were both still born in the same year.
