The US I was informed about had like Junior and middle and all sort of shit. Too many schools.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey. New board.
If it's not 9-12, you don't get the full run of freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, which I think is pretty standard across most of the US. Certainly every high school I know of, including the one I attended in MS and the ones I've taught in in NY and TN are 9-12. I am surprised and intrigued to hear that it's not universal. Personally, I love the idea of 7-9 and 10-12, as I really think ninth graders are more similar to eighth graders than tenth graders, generally. Especially the boys. But Artie and Tina must have been (old-looking) ninth graders.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But around here in VT (at least several of the schools I know about) school starts either the week before or after Labor Day and gets out last week in May. The schools have winter break, Feb break, and spring break.
It's like that in MA, except we didn't end until the end of June.
Also, could "Glory Days" BE a worse song choice?? Oh, Glee. Never change.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Here in Iowa it's the way I described it. My younger siblings had 7-9 in Jr. High and 10-12 in Senior High School. I should also mention this was the 1970s.
Things may have changed since then.

My HS switched from 9-12 to 10-12 my sophomore year, so I got the joy of being the next-youngest student in school two years running.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Here, primary school covers K-6, high school is years 7-10 and college is years 11 and 12. My high school called itself a college and took students for years 4-12.

Also, I didn't realize Metro-North ran all the way to Ohio! (IOW, she would not have gotten out at Grand Central....)

Having gone to high school from ages 11 to 18, this is all quite strange.

Mostly I just sat here wondering "What about Kurt?" We found out what everyone else will be doing, but what about Kurt? Is he supposed to take over the tire shop in his designer duds? (How the hell could Emma, who is generally pretty competent, let all these kids get away with applying to only one school?)

Ann, that's a ferret.
Only saw through the scene where Puck gets his test results.
We moved to a new school district after I finished 8th grade. My first school had K-6, then 7th grade in a separate wing of one of the K-6 schools, and 8-12 in high school with a separate wing for some of the 8th grade classes. That was a rural school district.
After we moved, I was in a school with K-6, 7-9, 10-12. City school district.
