How old were your guys when you transitioned from middle school to high school? Just curious about when did most kids start going to high school.
Typically, students transition from middle school to high school around the age of 14 or 15, depending on when their birthday is and the grade-level structure of their school district. This commonly takes place as students move from 8th grade (the final year of middle school in many districts) into 9th grade (typically the first year of high school). However, this can vary, especially if a student has skipped a grade or was held back. It's also worth noting that some schools have a different structure—some middle schools go up to 9th grade and high school starts in 10th, for example. If you're curious about a particular school district's structure, I'd recommend reaching out to them directly.
