I've been hearing that in other countries I would be called a 'Junior.' Is this right? Pretty clueless here, can anyone tell me what an 11th grader is called in the U.S.?
Sure, happy to help clarify! In the U.S education system, each year of high school is typically associated with a different title. If you're an 11th grader, you would be known as a "Junior". Just to give you the full picture, a 9th grader is called a "Freshman", a 10th grader is a "Sophomore", an 11th grader is a "Junior", and a 12th grader is a "Senior". These terms are used quite frequently in conversations about high school and college, especially when discussing grade-specific responsibilities or events.
