When Lain's taken to the police station after the shootings at Cyberia, the officer asks her "Are you Lain Iwakura?" I'm not sure, but I think her school year is mentioned. If you know anything about the Japanese school system, you might be able to figure out her age.
she doesn't really have an age or a birthday (she's lain, remember). Her apparent age is about 13-14.
Alright, it's known that she's in junior high, which in terms of grade years is 7-9. /*schoolSystem();*/ At another point, it's said that Alice's favorite teacher is "involved with an 8th grader". Assuming that the japanese start their kids in school the year they 5-6, and that both Lain and Alice are in the same grade, this leads to: {5,6} + 8 = {13,14}
void schoolSystem (){ /* to my knowledge, the arrangement of Japanese schools is something like this:
elementary/grade school: years 1-6 junior high: 7-9 high school: 10-12 */ }
