School in the USA - Can someone explain


School in the USA - Can someone explain?
Can someone please explain to me how the education system works in the USA? I live in the UK and will explain how it works here in the hope that someone can explain to me how the system works in the USA in comparison? Children start school aged 4 or 5 (Depending when their birthday falls). At this age, they go into Primary 1 (or P1) then; Start P2 aged 5-6 Start P3 aged 6-7 Start P4 aged 7-8 Start P5 aged 8-9 Start P6 aged 9-10 Start P7 Aged 10-11 After P7 is complete, the child will leave Primary School and go onto Secondary School / High School aged 11 or 12, again depending on when their Birthday falls. They then stay in Secondary School until age 18, but they can choose to leave from the age of 16 if they wish. If someone could explain how the system differs that would be much appreciated.

We start kindergarden at 4-5, also depending on birthdays but the parent gets to chose, there is a window. Then after that (k), 1st through 6th grade, all of this is called Elementary school. Middle schools is the next two year, 7th and 8th grade, which usually is it's own institution. We have no GCSE's or A-levels, we continue on to another block of four years before college. 9th grade (Freshman year) 10th grade (Sophomore), 11th (Junior) and 12th (Senior). Then you go on to college if you wish, where a Bachelors degree is 4 years, typically you start this at 18.
