On the series' pilot, Pugsley and Wednesday are shown attending the same public school.
Since Wednesday is a sophomore, Pugsley is likely either in eighth or ninth grade, depending on how many grades are included in the school.
Wednesday starts the show at 15. It's likely that Pugsley's 13 or 14, depending on his grade.

Eugene is one of Wednesday's few friends and has the power to control bees. Wednesday becomes rather protective of Eugene, who reminds her of her younger brother, Pugsley.
Because she tells him he reminds her of Pugsley, Eugene is likely younger than her, which would match with the actor's age in real life.
