school help: Can someone tell me what is the age for schooling in america? - Help.com

Elementary is like grades K-5 or 6
Middle skool is either 6 and 7
or u have junior high which is 7 8 9
and then high skool is 10 11 12

there is also preskool which is for children who are 3 4 and 5 years old

what about college? what is the youngest age to be in? How long does it takes?

uhm for college usually people start at age 18 if they get their high skool dipolma. for an average job at a normal college is usually 4 years. if you go to a tech collage, thats 2 years. there are also community colleges if you dont get accepted into any colleges.
lol i take it ur not from america?

yes i am not haha. So which kind of college are better? tech, normal, community? N why is private schools better in the usa?

are*

So most of them end college when they are 21? or is it 22? Start at 18 exactly?

start at 18 end at 22
normal college is better because u get a better education
private skools are for ppl whos parents just want them to know education more than socialazation.

I started elementary school in illinois at around 6 or 7, the exact age for each school is different on many things including state.

Some very young people have been smart enough to get into college early.

college doesn’t adhere to ages i believe

ok. What are the better normal colleges around? Are they more expensive and well known? DOes it include Harvard or yale?

Why tech and community colleges arent so good?

Its different now days, Harvard can be overkill for some degrees.

Tech schools, are two year “colleges” that focus on jobs like welding, programming, and other trades. Good price
Universities are big expensive 4+ year “colleges” EXPENSIVE
Community colleges are getting better renown lately, and have a decent price.

tech and community colleges have lower admission standards. Harvard and Yale are among the highest. There are very good public universities out there though. Tech and community are the cheapest. Public are a little higher, and private are ridiculously priced. Some say you can get a better education at them, but the biggest party school in the city I live in isnt the public university.

ok i was watching tv and its grounded for life…and i kinda realise the private schools are better than public schools. R they religion based?

some are, others are not. :-) you’re correct we all missed that detail.

Private schools “usually” are known for having better grades than public. Though this isn’t always the case.

thanks

Some are religous, others are not.

private isnt always better, it is usually more strict, but its not always better. i prefer public school :]

ok how do i tell if a college is the normal, tech or community kind?

It’s usually part of the name. Example (completely made these up): Washington Community College, Washington Technology Center, Washington College, Washington University (ok, that one is real)
