Could maybe one of the Americans help me out with this? I'm going to write a list of the different schools/classes we have in England, along with the ages of the children in them, and the qualifications you can get in some of them, and could someone write the equivalent in American schools?

Year 2, 6-7 years
Year 3, 7-8 years
Year 4, 8-9 years
Year 5, 9-10 years
Year 6, 10-11 years

Secondary school
Year 7, 11-12 years
Year 8, 12-13 years
Year 9, 13-14 years
Year 10, 14-15 years, G.C.S.Es
Year 11, 15-16 years, G.C.S.Es

Sixth Form/College
Year 12, 16-17 years, A-Levels/BTec
Year 13, 17-18 years, A-Levels/BTec

The ages can vary, and college can take more than 4 years if necessary. But this is basically how it works. Also, I'm not sure what the difference is in England between College and University. But here in the states they basically mean the same thing.

Elementary school:
Kindergarten, 5-6
First Grade, 6-7
Second Grade, 7-8
Third Grade, 8-9
Fourth Grade, 9-10
Fifth Grade, 10-11

Middle School:
Sixth Grade, 11-12
Seventh Grade, 12-13
Eigth Grade, 13-14

High School:
Freshman, 14-15
Sophomore, 15-16
Junior, 16-17
Senior, 17-18

College:
Freshman
Sophomore
Junior
Senior

And "Reception" would be pre-school. You don't have to go to pre-school to go to kindergarten, though. I didn't; I just went to daycare until I was five and then went to kindergarten.

We have a similar structure to what you have their in Australia, however we have:

   Public School - Years kindergarten to Year 6
   High School    - Years 7 to Years 12
   University        -  After completion of Year 12.

Although there other avenues to university, such as TAFE (our version of college).
