    Can someone explain to me how the education levels work in US? What is “senior high”, “grade 10”, “high school” whatever, what age group are these in, etc.

      I don’t know what senior high is and we stop saying grade numbers after 8th grade. High school is 9th-12th grade but we normally refer to those grades as freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year.

      Also, these grades are usually separated into 3 schools: elementary, middle, and high school. Though some places have a combined elementary + middle school. So it goes like this:

      • Elementary School: Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th grade
      • Middle School: 6th, 7th, 8th grade
      • High School: Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior year
