Where does american education start and finish?

1 Comment | Under: Education Topic

In england compulsory education is until age 16. Then if we want to, we go to 6th form/college until we are 18 (depending on the length of the course). Then we go to university.
I believe in America you don’t leave compulsory education until age 18? Thanks.

    Hey so here is how the school systems work in america

    Elementary School- ages 6 to 11

    Middle School- ages 12-14

    High School- Ages 15-18
    We do not go to university until we are 18 (unless you skip a grade or stay back a year)

    I think what you mean by compulsory education is High school. Which is yes, we don’t leave High school until we are 18
