Grammar School was the equivalent of high school, and it is believed that he did attend the grammar school in Stratford. He could read Latin and had read a number of Latin primary sources (notably Plutarch). He had the equivalent of a high school education.

William probably went to the local free Stratford-on-Avon grammar school which would have taught him Divinity, Mathematics, Latin, French, History, a little Science etc. to the age of maybe 15. There is no evidence that he went to University (the next step if you could afford it). By all accounts the Stratford school was as good as Eton.

No, he didn't. This fact caused another playwright called Robert Greene to call him an "upstart crow" in 1592, since Shakespeare had the nerve to compete with university-educated playwrights like Marlowe and Greene himself.

It is thought he went to the local Stratford Grammar School. But at that time there were only two universities Oxford and Cambridge and they were expensive to go to. We know that Shakespeare did not go to university.

No. He had the equivalent of a grade-school education. Some of his university-educated contemporaries (Robert Greene, for example) sneered at his lack of education, calling him an "upstart"; his university-educated friend Ben Jonson, however, praised him even though he had "small Latin and less Greek"

Shakespeare didn't go to college. He was pulled out of New King's School because his dad had financial problems, and he didn't continue his education.

Nope, and a guy called Robert Greene made fun of him in 1592 because he had the nerve to compete with the university-educated playwrights.

If you are English, he went to a public school. If you are American, he went to a private school. It's the same school, the King's New School in Stratford (now called the Edward VI Grammar School).


Why was Shakespeare removed from school at age 13?

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.
