In uk it’s infant school nursery-year 2 (age 4-7), primary school year 3-6, and high school year 7-11. A lot of place combine infant school and primary school into one though

That’s actually neat! I have heard UKs referring to high school as college in TV shows. What’s that about?

In the uk high school ends at 16, but in the us it’s 18 right? 17-18 is when we go to college usually

This is actually a very complicated question in the states and varies a lot just depending on where you are. Personally I did Kindergarten-6th in elementary, 7-8 in middle, and 9-12 in high school. The main differences are some places put 6 or 9 in middle school and then some places split 9-10 and 11-12 into 2 separate schools. Theres also other variations as you go, we still have places where there is just 1 school you go to from K-12
