I'm kinda new to this whole high school thing, so could anyone explain what order does high school go in? Like what's the progression from freshman to senior year?
Sure, I'd be happy to break it down for you! High school typically consists of four years, with students progressing as follows:
9th Grade: Freshman Year
This is your first year in high school and it's a time to adjust to a new environment and new expectations. This is a good time to explore your interests by joining clubs or trying out for sports teams.
10th Grade: Sophomore Year
Your sophomore year is when you start to get the hang of high school. There might be an increase in workload as you move into more advanced courses. You might also start thinking about standardized tests like the PSAT.
11th Grade: Junior Year
Often seen as the most challenging year of high school, junior year is when students usually take a heavier course load, including AP classes. This is also when many students take standardized tests like the SAT or ACT.
12th Grade: Senior Year
During your final year, you will apply to colleges or pursue other post-graduation plans. Also, don't forget about your course load. Until graduation, it's important to maintain good grades.
Remember, everyone's high school experience is unique, and this progression may look different depending on your school or personal circumstances. Stay curious, stay engaged, and make the most of your high school years!
