There was a recent query on this list re
the age of US students in the 8th grade.
My own experience was somewhat different
than the other two answers.
I was 11 when I entered 8th grade and a few
months past my 12th birthday when I graduated
from 8th grade.
Not all US school systems are divided into
elementary, middle and high schools.
My school was Kindergarten through 8th.
I then went to high school which was
9th through 12th. Some schools are still
divided like this, though many US schools
are divided into elementary, middle and
high schools.
Hope this is of interest.
Kind regards,
Grace-Ellen McCrann, M.L.S.
