We are not sure that he was. Some scholars have speculated that Shakespeare's dad may have been too poor to pay his school fees, and so Shakespeare did not complete grammar school. But we do not have any school records at all for Shakespeare so we cannot confirm any of this. We only assume he went to school at all because he seems to have had familiarity with the curriculum.
As there was no such thing as "high school" back in Shakespeare's time, it is certain that he did not "graduate". However, Shakespeare did attend Stratford grammar school from the time when he was 6 or 7 until 13. His father pulled him out of school at age 13. Yet that isn't to say that Shakespeare was later self taught and learned by other means.
If it hadn't been for the Elizabethan Age, Shakespeare would have lived most of his life in a timeless limbo. If the years 1558 to 1603 hadn't existed, Shakespeare would have appeared in the Jacobean Age at the age of 39 already, with only 13 years of his life left to live.
He most likely was educated up to 13 years old at Stratford grammar school.
The page size for Shakespeare's First Folio was 8 1/2 by 13 3/8 inches.
The class system in Shakespeare's England was very rigid. People were only allowed to wear the clothes permitted to their social class. For example, only the highest classes could wear purple clothes. Shakespeare worked like crazy to get the College of Arms to grant a coat of arms to his father. This pushed Shakespeare up a class, so he could call himself "Mr. Shakespeare" and refer to himself as a "gentleman". Although it doesn't seem important to us, such signs of class were of extraordinary importance to Shakespeare and his contemporaries. On the off-chance that you might have been thinking of classes in school, the classes in Shakespeare's time were very different from what they are now: each school had only one class of all boys aged 7-13.
