Typical ages and grade groupings in contemporary, public and private schools may be found through the U.S. Department of Education. Generally there are three stages: elementary school (K-5th/6th grade), middle school (6th/7th-8th grades) and high school (9thâ12th grades). Some schools differ in the grades they contain.
Of those there are perhaps 50,000 childrenâroughly 25,000 are school age; the rest are younger. Of this number there are approximately 38,000 children of school age. The school age, a resultant of the first three, is a record of progress in school. There was never a day when all the children of school age were in school.
