Well, to put it simply, the American public school system sucks. We are 17th in the rank of educational performance, in a system solely focused on standardized testing. Anyway, here's a brief description:

There are public, private, and home schools in America; 87% of us attend public schools. Prior to colleges and university, students attend both primary and secondary school for a total of 12 years.
Preschool: Kids can start as early as 3 years old and are usually finished with preschool by the time they turn 5 years old.
Elementary School: (Kindergarten until 5th grade) This is basically primary school. Kids are usually 5 years old when they first enroll and are done with primary education by the time they are 11 years old.
Middle School: (6th grade until 8th grade) This is basically secondary school, with students at age 11 completing their time here when they are 14 years old.
High School: (9th grade until 12th grade) Lots of state standardized testing as well as the national SAT / ACT. SAT is typically more popular with students but they can take either or both. Once a teen's done with high school, they graduate and move on to higher education.

Our grading system runs on a GPA scale and letter-grade system (A-F) with A being exceptional and F being terrible. These scales measure our academic achievement. We've also got the typical academic transcript, which is extremely vital for universities and college admissions.

As for a typical public school day, this usually depends on the school itself. Some schools start at 7-7:30 AM while others begin at 9 AM. Some end at 2 PM, 3:30 PM, or as late as 4 PM. Mine starts at 8 AM and ends at 3:30 PM.

We get the usual breaks too, like spring & summer & winter break. Overall, our public school education system is failing and stressing students out. It's extremely flawed, but it's what we've got.

Note: Sorry if this went far beyond "brief," but this is basically how our public school system works. This can also apply for private schools, too.

Which of the following selections is least useful for supporting the claim that states intentionally built unequal school systems? question 1 options: the supreme court ruling in plessy v. ferguson (1896) wrote into law that america had two separate societies: one black and one white. it was very clear by the mid-1900s that southern states had expertly built separate educational systems. these schools, however, were never equal. states with laws keeping schools segregated never gave equal amounts of money to their black and white schools. ten years after brown, fewer than 10 percent of southern public schools had integrated. some areas did not comply at all.
