School Age and Grade Levels in the United States

In the United States, children typically begin kindergarten at age five. First grade usually starts at age six. Grade levels are then determined by a child’s age and not necessarily their ability. So, a first grader is typically six years old, a second grader is seven, and so on. Each year of school is called a grade.

High school generally starts at grade nine and ends at grade 12. So, if you’re in high school right now, you’re probably between 14-18 years old. The average high school graduation age in the US is 17 or 18.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. Some states have what’s called an early college high school where students can earn both their high school diploma and an associate’s degree at the same time. These programs typically last four years instead of the usual six.

There are also a few schools that offer a 13th year, also called post-secondary enrollment options or PSEO. This is an extra year of high school where students can take college classes and earn college credit.

How to Use the High School Graduation Calculator

To use this calculator, simply enter your current grade and the year you plan to graduate. Then, click on the “calculate” button. The calculator will do the rest!

If you’re not sure what grade you’re in or when you’ll graduate, don’t worry! The calculator can still be helpful. Just enter in the year you started high school and your expected graduation year. The calculator will automatically figure out what grade you’re in and how many years of high school you have left.

So, whether you’re a freshman wondering when you’ll graduate or a senior counting down the days, this calculator can help!

Note: This calculator is for estimation purposes only and does not guarantee your actual graduation date. Many factors, such as summer school, may affect your actual graduation date. Please consult with your high school counselor for more accurate information.
