  In the United States, boys and girls start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students stay in school until they are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school.
Most children go to public elementary and secondary schools. The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay directly for their children’s education because tax money supports the public schools. If a child attends a private school, his parents will pay the school for his education.
Today about half of high school graduates go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities do not have to pay very much if their parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive, however. Almost half of the college students in the United States work while they are studying. Unless they come from a rich family, they have to earn money to help pay for their college expenses.
