Ill put the australian one in comments

one word:
ass

haha yep
(i think)

Australian:
Start school when you turn 6. Stay in primary school for 7 years (Prep, then years 1-6)
Then you go into high school (years 7-12). There are two breaks where you go outside every day, every year. Recess and lunch. there is no cafeteria. If you want food from the school, you pay from the menu of the canteen. Each school year starts in febuary and ends in december. I recently heard that american school years end in june. ours, again, ends in dedcember.

HUH?
AMERICANS START AT 3-5

3-5? oh ages
we do have kindergarten for 4-5 year olds

we have pre-k before kindergarten

We started in September and end in June, this can vary depending on where you live though, just for summer breaks sake. High school for us is 9-12, middle school (aka junior high) is 6-8 where I went, and primary is K-5, preschool may be before that.
We have two breaks in K-8 but only a lunch break in highschool.

Oh and school shooting drills are a thing, do you have those?

I didnt even know what a school shooting was until I first went on imgflip in 2020.

We do have lockdowns for druggies, possible kidnappers and people with knives though. And fire drills.

across the tasman we have:
preschool till the day your 5.
if your born before may then you go to year 1 else you go to year 0.
you go to primary untill year 6. then you go to intermediate for year 7 and 8
some schools have both primary and intermediate together(i only went to these)
after that you have highschool/colledge going from year 9 to year 13. the lastt three years currently are your ncea years with level one being year 11 and three being year 13. you cannot go to the next level without passing the prior levels. after that you can get aprinticeships and/or go to univercity(college)

cool!

there are four terms in a year and each one is seperated by two weeks break exept for summer whitch has six

Hell.

Preschool: 3 to 5 year olds start school (sometimes optional but encouraged, sometimes mandatory)

*elementary school*
Kindergarten: 5 or 6 year olds
Grade 1: 6 or 7
Grade 2: 7 or 8
Grade 3: 8 or 9
Grade 4: 9 or 10
Grade 5: 10 or 11

*middle school*
Grade 6: 11 or 12
Grade 7: 12 or 13
Grade 8: 13 or 14

*high school*
Grade 9: 14 or 15
Grade 10: 15 or 16
Grade 11: 16 or 17
Grade 12: 17 or 18

Then off to college (optional but heavily encouraged)

*Additional information*

The school year starts generally sometime in August or early September.
There's a winter/Christmas break in mid/late December to early January.
There's a spring break in March or April for typically a week or 2.
And the school year ends in mid/late may or in early June.

Things like snow days and time off for bad weather can cause there to be addition school days that have to be made up which will extend your school year by however many days need to be made up.

School start times vary but you’ll typically start your school day between 7am to 9am.

Because start times vary, so will the time you get out. You can expect school to typically be done between 3pm and 4pm.

Somewhere in there you will typically get an hour for lunch. You can pack a lunch or buy the school lunch which you typically eat in the cafeteria. The school lunches typically aren't free unless you are part of a free or reduced lunch program. I have no clue how much lunches cost now and that might vary from place to place.

After lunch, elementary schoolers and sometimes middle schoolers have recess, however, recess is pretty rare for middle schoolers. It's another thing that's going to differ between schools.

If you fail a class you might have to go to summer school to make up the lost credits.

Canada's basically the same, but no middle school - grades 6-8 are part of elementary school

Shitty food and shootings

School starts for most when you’re four, called preschool (or pre-kindergarten, also called pre-k). Our preschool starts at 8 and ends at 2. They learn the basics like colours, shapes, and numbers up to twenty. You relearn these things in kindergarten, and preschool is optional.

After that is primary, or elementary. Elementary goes on from kindergarten, (5-6 year olds) to “fifth grade” which is 7 years into your school experience. By fifth, you should know basic division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction. You should know how to read and basic grammar, and know the basics of decimals and fractions. Newly required is to take some Spanish lessons too. It doesn’t really count for anything until high school.
I forgot everything I learned except mesa = desk because I thought it was funny
School normally starts at 7:30 and ends at 2:30.

After that, you move on to secondary school. Secondary school is separated in two parts, “middle school” and “high school” (aka hell)

In middle school, it goes from sixth grade to eighth grade. By the end of middle, you should know more advanced math equations, basic world geography, more advanced vocabulary, science terms like photosynthesis, and some life skills (these are called “required electives”) in these years, you go through three different courses. In sixth, you learn basic coding and stem. In seventh, you go to LAFS, or Life Applications For Students (this one was my favourite) and Speech. (This one was my least favourite.) since I left, they decided to make them not required, but optional. Which is dumb because they still call them required electives 😐
School normally lasts from 8:45 to 3:30.

Finally, the last stretch of school. Before college, of course. High school. This goes from grades nine to twelve. I’m not going into too much detail, except you need three math credits, four literature credits, three science credits, two history credits, one fine arts credit, (meaning like speech or drama or debate and stuff) and two language or tech credits. I currently have four fine arts credits, two math credits, one history, and one English. If you go into advanced classes, your middle school credits add towards your high school credits, which is why I have two math credits instead of one. For the four fine arts credits, I have them because drama class counts for fine arts, so I’m well set for graduation by my year.
School starts at 8:30 and gets out at 3:30. 8 hours of pure mental pain
I hit chara

my pre-k started and ended the same as the whole school what are you on?
also my school started at 7:00-

Fûck Ryan shithead Walters

Which credits are required and how many are needed per a subject differs between states/school districts as does start/end times for elementary, middle, and high school.

Yeah I was going to put that but I was in the middle of an intense Minecraft prop hunt and was writing the whole essay in between rounds

No problem. I was just letting you know incase you didn't know.
