6th grade in the states is 12-13. 10 years old is about 4th grade.
6th grade is 11. Unless you have a weird birthday or got held back High School starts around 13-14 years. Maybe you started late? That benefits a lot of kids but most kids graduate highschool at 17/18 not 20.
Don't think so, I have a 9 year old who turns 10 in February in the 4th grade in the US. They've never been held back, started at the right time etc. That puts us 8 years from graduation, at 18.
edit: I'm tired and didn't read your comment correctly. You are right. We'll start 6th grade at 11. Leaving so everyone can point and laugh. Sorry!
Or I misremembered. Sometimes your fellow commenters on Lemmy make mistakes.
Definitely happens.
Oh, I was thinking it would be the same as the UK system.
Even better then. I was reading Lord of the Rings by that age.
Looking up the lexile scores, LOTR is written at a 5th or 6th grade level. Same with most of the Harry Potter series.
