The precise stage of schooling provided by a high school differs from country to country, and may vary within the same jurisdiction. In all of New Zealand and Malaysia, along with most of Britain and parts of Australia, Bangladesh and Canada, high school means the same thing as secondary school, but instead of starting in 9th grade, these "secondary schools" begin at ages 11 or 12.
Country by country
Australia
In Australia, high school is a secondary school, from Year 7 or Year 8 through to Year 12, varying from state to state. High school immediately follows primary (elementary) school; therefore, a Year-7 Australian high-school student is sometimes as young as 12. In Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory, the term "high school" generally refers to Years 7–10, whereas the term "College" is used for Years 11–12. In Victoria the term "secondary college" has largely replaced the term "high school" following the reforms of the Labor Government in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some schools have retained the name "high school" (such as Melbourne High School) and many have now dropped the "secondary" and are simply known as "college".
High school is the last segment of compulsory secondary education in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Scotland, the United States, and other countries; the term also refers to the building where such education takes place.
High school may also refer to:
Education
Folk high school, institutions of adult and continuing education common in the Nordic countries and Germany
In most jurisdictions, secondary education in the United States refers to the last four years of statutory formal education (grade nine through grade twelve) either at high school or split between a final year of 'junior high school' and three in high school.
History
The United States historically had a demand for general skills rather than specific training/apprenticeships. High school enrollment increased when schools at this level became free, laws required children to attend until a certain age, and it was believed that every American student had the opportunity to participate regardless of their ability.
In 1892, in response to many competing academic philosophies being promoted at the time, a working group of educators, known as the "Committee of Ten" was established by the National Education Association. It recommended twelve years of instruction, consisting of eight years of elementary education followed by four years of high school. Rejecting suggestions that high schools should divide students into college-bound and working-trades groups from the start, and in some cases also by race or ethnic background, they unanimously recommended that "every subject which is taught at all in a secondary school should be taught in the same way and to the same extent to every pupil so long as he pursues it, no matter what the probable destination of the pupil may be, or at what point his education is to cease."

The problem with a Mountain Brook education
We didn’t move to Mountain Brook until I was in sixth grade. At the time, I was mostly upset that I would be going back to elementary school. In Hoover, middle school starts in sixth grade but, in Mountain Brook, junior high didn’t start until seventh. Cherokee Bend Elementary was much less diverse school than the one I was leaving but, by reputation at least, it was considered the best. The schools, from elementary to high school, consistently scored high marks in everything other than diversity. With a student body that was ~97% white and wealthy, Mountain Brook school system looked more like Maine than Alabama. It did not look like the South. So they tried to fill the gap by teaching students other perspectives and history through class readings or experiences. One early example: our si...

We didn’t move to Mountain Brook until I was in sixth grade. At the time, I was mostly upset that I would be going back to elementary school. In Hoover, middle school starts in sixth grade but, in Mountain Brook, junior high didn’t start until seventh. Cherokee Bend Elementary was much less diverse school than the one I was leaving but, by reputation at least, it was considered the best. The schools, from elementary to high school, consistently scored high marks in everything other than diversity. With a student body that was ~97% white and wealthy, Mountain Brook school system looked more like Maine than Alabama. It did not look like the South. So they tried to fill the gap by teaching students other perspectives and history through class readings or experiences. One early example: our sixth grade class performance of “We Haz Jazz!” a musical exploration of the history of jazz music performed entirely by white 11 year-olds. Thankfully, this was 1999 and we didn’t do blackface. But I was always a theatrical kid, and I sure did my best Louis Armstrong impression. In high school, we put on a production of West Side Story, a beautiful show that teaches high schoolers the importance of tolerance, diversity and more. But, as the student body was almost entirely white, the students playing Sharks decided they could look “more authentically Puerto Rican” by getting spray tans and dying their hair black. After all, what was the difference between that and faking a Russian accent or wearing a fake mustache? I thought about these moments a couple of years ago when a picture of Gov. Kay Ivey in blackface was unearthed from an old Auburn yearbook. Those insidious ways racism can sneak up on you. Those two experiences, in theory, were supposed to be opportunities to learn about other cultures and perspectives, but in practice we reduced other peoples’ histories to games of dress up and make believe. When your student body all looks like Atticus Finch, it’s a little too easy to think: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”I highlight those moments because, on the surface, they may have been well-intentioned, but when you otherize people by turning them into elementary school mascots or class productions, you wind up fostering an environment that accepts explicitly racist and hateful actions too. And when your student body and staff are almost all white, it rarely gets questioned. During a junior high homecoming spirit week, students showed up to school dressed in “urban attire” one day. In high school, the student government decided to throw a winter dance. The “Black & White Ball” referred to the formal attire but took on a nastier connotation when a group of boys got drunk and started peeing over the railing at the venue in downtown Birmingham. They peed directly onto the wedding party of a Black family.
