graders for students of various age groups from the
kindergarten age (5 years old) to the 12th grade age (18
years old).

School dress code
Most schools in the United States do
not require uniform, instead off
enforcing a standardized dress code of
what types of clothing are appropriate
for students to wear to school.
Typically, students will wear collared,
buttoned shirts, with a tie for boys and
a tie for girls, worn with khaki trousers,
and a belt, depending on the age of the
school’s students.

School grades
The American grading scale includes a full 5 points, which
are indicated by letters.
Excellent
Good
Satisfactory
Poor
Unsatisfactory
Additionally, "+" and "-" are used, but officially these marks are not taken into
account. In many states, the letter designation of an unsatisfactory grade is different:
instead of E, F (Fail, i.e. "complete failure") or grade U (from Unsatisfactory) is often
used. Students and their parents receive progress reports every six months.
