Hey everyone, kind of a random question, but I was wondering at what age do you typically complete high school and graduate in the US? Is it common for people to graduate early or maybe even later than usual? Let me know your thoughts.
Hi! In the US, the typical age for high school graduation is around 17 or 18 years old. Most students start high school at age 13 or 14 and it usually takes four years to complete. It's less common for people to graduate early, but it does happen occasionally when someone has advanced academically and fulfilled all graduation requirements. Similarly, some students may take an extra year to graduate, whether it's due to personal circumstances or needing more time to meet requirements. Overall, there's a bit of variation, but 17 or 18 is the usual age for completing high school. Hope this helps!
