Answer 2

First is preschool, which is just optional and not part of the formal public school system. Generally for children from about 2 to 5 years old. A preschool class for older children (ages 4-5) will often be called pre-kindergarten.

Mandatory school starts with elementary school. The first year is kindergarten (which you start at age 5) and then it's grades 1 to 5 in a lot of places, but in some places it goes up to 6th grade. So that means you're either 11 or 12 by the time you finish elementary school.

Next is middle school or junior high school. "Middle school" is definitely the more common term nowadays, and it's often grades 6 to 8. But in areas where 6th grade is kept in elementary school, then it will typically be just grades 7 and 8...and in that case, it might be referred to as "junior high school" instead.

Then high school is grades 9 to 12 (ages 14-18). Then you graduate after you finish 12th grade, and you're officially done with mandatory schooling.

But then you can go on to college or university after you finish high school.

Answer 3

At first I thought this would take 2 seconds to answer but as I started typing this I realized how awkward our grading system is....anyways, here it goes.

At the core of the American grading system is a 100 point scale, with a 100 score being perfect and anything lower than a 65 being a failing grade. At the lower levels of education (high school & middle school), grades are based on the letters A through F with A being the highest and F being a failing grade in the class; the A corresponds with the 100 and the F with the 65. So when you hear someone go "Oh, I got a B on Mr. So and So's test yesterday" you would automatically assume that their grade was somewhere in the 80s.

One can also achieve a plus or minus letter grade as well so for instance, an A+ would be a 97-100 point grade, an A would be 94-96, and an A- would be a 90 to 93. A B+ would be an 87-89, a B would be an 84-86, and a B- an 80-83 and so on through the C's and D's.

At the collegiate level, however, grades are based on a 4 point scale with a 4.0 corresponding to an A, a 3.0 to a B, 2.0 to a C, 1.0 to a D, and 0.0 being an F or fail. Just like with the pluses and minus, one can also receive grades other than the whole points, such as a 3.5 or a 2.7, etc.

Note: A letter grade of C is considered as average here in the states.

Hope this helps

Answer 5

Nursery school/preschool (not required):

Usually for about ages 3-5. There is also a program called pre-kindergarten that parents can send their 4-5 year olds to to prepare them for kindergarten the next year.

Elementary School (start of compulsory education):

Kindergarten (age 5-6)

1st grade (age 6-7)

2nd grade (age 7-8)

3rd grade (age 8-9)

4th grade (age 9-10)

5th grade (age 10-11)

(In some areas, 6th grade is also still part of elementary school)

Middle School:

6th grade (age 11-12) (but again, 6th is still elementary in some places and middle school doesn't start till 7th grade)

7th grade (age 12-13)

8th grade (age 13-14)

High School (last part of compulsory education):

9th grade/freshman year (age 14-15)

10th grade/sophomore year (age 15-16)

11th grade/junior year (age 16-17)

12th grade/senior year (age 17-18)

College/University:

Any age can enroll and attend. But most people start going at age 18 after finishing high school. If they get a standard 4-year degree then they will attend until age 22, but depending on what they study they may stay longer or shorter.
