education  in the  united states  is provided by  public schools  and  private schools.

public education  is universally required from  kindergarten through 12th grade (often abbreviated k-12), and is available at state colleges and universities for all students. public school curricula, budgets, and policies for k-12 schooling are set through locally elected  school boards, who have jurisdiction over individual  school districts. state governments set overall educational standards, often mandate  standardized tests  for k–12 public school systems, and supervise, usually through a board of regents, state colleges and universities. funding comes from the  state,  local, and  federal  government.[4]

private schools are generally free to determine their own curriculum and staffing policies, with voluntary accreditation available through independent regional accreditation authorities. about 87% of school-age children attend public schools, about 10% attend private schools,[5]  and roughly 3% are home-schooled.[6]

education is  compulsory  over an age range starting between five and eight and ending somewhere between ages sixteen and eighteen, depending on the state.[7]  this requirement can be satisfied in  public schools, state-certified  private schools, or an approved  home school  program. in most schools, education is divided into three levels:   elementary school,  middle or junior high school, and  high school. children are usually divided by age groups into  grades, ranging from  kindergarten  and  first grade  for the youngest children, up to  twelfth grade  as the final year of  high school.

there are also a large number and wide variety of publicly and privately administered institutions of  higher education  throughout the country.  post-secondary education, divided into  college, as the first tertiary degree, and  graduate school, is described in a separate section below.

the united states spends more per student on education than any other country.[8]  in 2014, the pearson/economist intelligence unit  rated us education as 14th best in the world, just behind russia.[9]  according to  a report  published by the  u.s. news & world report, of the top ten colleges and universities in the world, eight are american.[10]  (the other two are  oxford  and  cambridge, in the  united kingdom.)
