For many years I've been trying to understand how educational structure works in US. And when i thought i could understand it a little better, today i questioned myself again after seeing a video talking about universities and art schools. So, I did some research and my conclusion is this:
Kindergarten - till 5/6 years Primary school or elementary school - 1st to 6th grade (6 to 11/12 years) Secondary school - divided in middle/junior high school (7th to 9th grades) and high school (10th to 12th grades) (16-18 years)
After this, there's college or university. And i couldn't find out the difference between both. Is it the same?

The order, with approximate ages:
preschool: 4-5 kindergarten: 5-6 elementary school (grades 1-5): 6-11 middle school, also called junior high (grades 6-8): 11-14 high school (grades 9-12): 14-18 college (undergraduate): 18-22
