Where does american education start and finish?

Summer: Where does american education start and finish?
In england compulsory education is until age 16. Then if we want to, we go to 6th form/college until we are 18 (depending on the length of the course). Then we go to university.
I believe in America you don’t leave compulsory education until age 18? Thanks.

Hey so here is how the school systems work in america

Elementary School- ages 6 to 11

Middle School- ages 12-14

High School- Ages 15-18
We do not go to university until we are 18 (unless you skip a grade or stay back a year)

I think what you mean by compulsory education is High school. Which is yes, we don’t leave High school until we are 18
