Elementary Schools
At age six the American child begins elementary school by enrolling in First Grade--the first of twelve possible grades. The American school year runs from September to June, with a full summer vacation. There are differing categorizations in some school systems, but “elementary school” usually goes from First Grade to Sixth Grade. Seventh, Eight and perhaps Ninth Grade is considered “junior high school”or “middle school,” while Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Grades are “high school.” The term “secondary school” usually refers to Seventh through Twelfth Grades.
