what age do you start middle school in usa
Middle school Middle schools in the United States usually cover grades 5-8, 6-8,7-8, or 7-9. Historically, local public control (and private alternatives) have allowed for some variation in the organization of schools. Elementary school includes kindergarten through to sixth grade, or kindergarten through to fifth grade, i.e. up to age 12, but some elementary schools have 4 or 8 grades, i.e. up to ages 10 or 14[28] (also known as, the intermediate grades). Basic subjects are taught and students often remain in one or two classrooms throughout the school day, except for physical education, library, music, and art classes. In 2001, there were about 3.6 million children in each grade in the United States.[29] "Middle schools" and "junior high schools" are schools that span grades 6 to 8 and 7 to 8, respectively,[28] but junior high schools spanning grades 7 to 8 were common until the 1980s.

Education in the United States By state law, education is compulsory over an age range starting between five and eight and ending somewhere between ages sixteen and eighteen, depending on the state.[7] This requirement can be satisfied in public schools, state-certified private schools, or an approved home school program. In most schools, compulsory education is divided into three levels: elementary school, middle or junior high school, and high school. Children are usually divided by age groups into grades, ranging from kindergarten (5–6 year olds) and first grade for the youngest children, up to twelfth grade (17–18 years old) as the final year of high school.
