Education in the USA

There are five types of schools in the US education system. They are: kindergarten, elementaryschool, middle school, high school and private school. Children go to kindergarten whenthey are 5 years old. They go to elementary school from ages 6 through 11 (1-5 grades),middle school from ages 12 through 14 (6-8 grades) and high school from ages 15 through19 (9-12 grades).

About 90 percent of all children attend public school, which is free. The other 10 percentgo to private schools, which often include religious education. They are similar to the publicschools but parents must pay for their children to go to these schools. About half of all privateschools are run by Catholics.

In the United States, education is mainly the responsibility of state and local governments, notthe national government. The amount of money spent on education differs from state to state.The subjects studied also differ a little. The school year usually runs from September to June.At the high school level, there are some specialized schools. They include schools that emphasizevocational subjects like business or auto mechanics. Most high schools are generalschools. High school students are often involved in the non-academic activities that theirschool offers – for example, in drama clubs, sports teams, or the school newspaper.
