Lo school system americano comincia con l' elementary school , che corrisponde alla scuola elementare italiana e al primo anno della scuola media. In alcune regioni, dopo il sixth grade , corrispondente alla prima media, gli alunni frequentano altri due anni di scuola, la junior high school (corrispondente agli ultimi due anni della scuola media inferiore). Gli alunni frequentano quindi la high school per tre anni. Nelle regioni nelle quali non esiste la junior high school , gli alunni, dopo otto anni di elementary school , passano direttamente alla high school , che inizia quindi dal ninth grade , l'equivalente del primo anno della scuola superiore italiana. La scuola termina dovunque con il twelfth grade , cioè, dopo dodici anni complessivi.
