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.
