Hey guys, I'm a little confused. What grade is considered the first year of high school in the US? Would that be 9th grade? Just want some clarification!
Hey there! You're correct—the first year of high school in the United States is generally considered to be the 9th grade. High school in the US typically includes four years, with students progressing from 9th grade (freshman year) to 10th grade (sophomore year), 11th grade (junior year), and finally 12th grade (senior year). Hope that clears things up!
