Well, it depends on what state you live in. They are all different. First, they all have different cut-off dates for starting kindergarten, which is the first year of compulsory education. Children have to be 5 years old by whatever cut-off date the state establishes for starting kindergarten. In some states it's as early as August (the month that school usually begins) and in others it's not until December.

And, what grade middle school starts in also varies in different areas. In most places it begins in 6th grade, and kids are normally 11 years old when starting that grade, but again, depending on the cut-off date, some kids could still be 10. Then there are other areas where middle school does not begin until 7th grade (when most kids are 12). There are even some places (but not many) that begin middle school in 5th grade (when most kids are 10).
