Hey guys, just curious. What's the typical age range for most students when they graduate high school?
Hello! In the United States, high school usually starts in grade 9 and ends in grade 12. Students typically begin grade 9 when they're around 14 or 15 years old. So, when they graduate high school at the end of grade 12, they are usually around 17 or 18 years old. This can vary slightly, depending on the student's birthday and the school district's cut-off date for kindergarten enrollment, but the majority of high school students graduate within this age range.
