In the United States, primary education is provided by public and private educational institutions. State governments set general education standards and create standardized tests for public schools. Educational institutions are generally overseen by boards composed of state universities, community colleges, and the educational institution's regents.
High school education generally covers a period from 9th grade to 12th grade. Some institutions may also implement a curriculum from 10th grade to 12th grade. 9th grade generally consists of 14-year-old students and high school education is generally completed at the age of 18.
Most high school institutions offer a curriculum consisting of 5 or 6 daily lesson periods, and each lesson is taught by a different teacher. Teachers are usually assigned a specific class, and students attend these classes according to the lesson and subject they will take. Students' lesson plans are often not uniform. In general, lesson plans are shaped according to the student's interests, career goals, and academic proficiency through the cooperation of parents, guidance counselors, and students.
A typical high school curriculum consists of English, mathematics, science, social studies, arts, and physical education. According to the general standards set by the U.S. Department of Education, a typical high school curriculum consists of the yearly courses listed below.
