Cutie Marks aren’t earned at a certain age, just a general age bracket. Applejack and Rainbow Dash are probably the same age, yet Applejack got her cutie mark last and Rainbow got hers first.

She’d be the same age as Rarity (and a similar age to the rest of the Mane Six, as Cheerilee was a filly when the rest of them were fillies, too)
I have always loved her thin veneer of smiles and positive attitude over her sarcasm and frustration - no, she can’t chew out Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack for not keeping to the spirit of the competition, but she damn well wants to.
why, sir, i take great exception to such besmirchment! we shall draw arms at high noon!
seriously, though, cheerilee is probably one of the most underrated characters in the whole show and seeing her play an actual part was the highlight of the episode for me. as is the case with many irl teachers, poor cheerie has a harder time dealing with the adults than with the kids!
That doesn’t really mean anything, there’s no set age at which a pony earns their cutie mark. There are early and late bloomers.

She’s slightly older than Rarity, as she already has her cutie mark during this flashback.

Also, funny how she rolls her eyes twice in the same episode
