Fyi: it’s called post secondary because, I think, UK calls it primary, secondary, and after that is post secondary.

    US. We have kindergarten (start at age 6) followed by grades 1 through 12. How they are divided depends on where you live. Here are three examples I have seen:

    K-8: Primary school
    9-12: Secondary school or High school

    K-5: Elementary school or Grade school
    6-8: Middle school
    9-12: High school

    K-6: Elementary school or Grade school
    7-9: Junior high school
    10-12: High school

    Anything beyond 12th grade is “post-secondary.”

      Where I grew up it was k-2: primary, 3-5: elementary, 6-8: middle, 9-12: high.

      Where I moved after college had primary, intermediate, and high; elementary, intermediate, and high; elementary, junior high, and high; all combinations, but I didn’t know the grade levels.
