Question

Hello,

Could you please, check the following American school levels even the respective ages, please?

- 1º) Preschool = 3 and 4 years old;
- 2º) Grade School:
2a) Kindergarten (= from 5 to 6 years old);
2b) Elementary School (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades). By the way, here, each level corresponds to one year ? = from 7 to 11 years old;
- 3º) Junior High School (or Middle School) = 6th, 7th, and 8th grades = from 11 to 14 years old;
- 4º) High School ( 9th = Frehsman,10th = Sophomore,11th = Junior and 12th = Senior grades) = from 14 to 18 years old;
- 5º) College or University;
- 6º) Graduation;
- 7º) Post-graduate degree;
- 8º ) Master's degree;
- 9º ) Doctor's degree.

Thanks for the attention,
Sula

That's pretty much true, yes. Of course, it will depend on when your birthday is what exact age you are when you start and finish a grade.

My kids went to pre-school for two years, when they were 3 and 4. This is optional and private. Public schools start in kindergarten and are mandatory.

Some elementary schools go until 6th grade, and then "Junior High" is 7th and 8th. Some go to 5th grade, as you have written it, and "Middle School" is 6th, 7th, and 8th.

There are even some middle schools that have a 9th grade, so that the high school has only the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. This is not very common, though.

6) Graduation is not a level, nor is 7) "Post-graduate" its own level: it can refer to either a master's or doctorate.

There are even post-doctoral studies.
