How do High Schools in the USA work? At what age do you attend, how many years is it etc..?
Hey I'm outside the US and I wanna know how High Schools there work. I actually wanna know these: 1. At what age do you enter High School? 2. How many years does a student attend a High School? 3. What time in the morning do they start? Probably many have different times, but as a general idea, what time do High School starts and finish? Do you eat there? Thanks ;) =] Peace. =]

Most teens enter the 9th grade (freshmen) at age 14. Credits are earned by successfully passing courses and students progress to grade 10 (sophomore), then grade 11 (junior) and finally grade 12 (Senior). Usually seniors graduate at between 17 and 19 years of age. Depending upon how early they started school. The school day ranges from school district to school district. Mine starts at 7:45 am and ends at 3:15 pm. We have 4 periods a day that average 95 minutes each. Most schools serve lunch. In american, financially disadvantaged kids apply for and receive free lunch. Some progressive school districts have "open" lunch which allows students to leave campus and visit restaurants.
