Secondary education in the United States

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. As part of education in the United States, secondary education usually covers grades 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 through 12. Teachers are certified in one of two areas for secondary education: middle school or high school. These certifications can overlap. In Missouri, for example, middle school certification covers grades 6-8, elementary school certification covers up to grade 5, and high school certification covers grades 9-12. This reflects the wide range of grade combinations of middle schools, Junior Highs, and elementary schools. Alternatively, some states certify teachers in various curricular areas (such as math or history) to teach secondary education. The US had a demand for general skills rather than specific training/apprenticeships. The US increased their high school enrollment when schools at this level became free, and laws required children to attend until a certain age, and because every American student had the opportunity to participate regardless of intellectual levels. The US students had very few standards.
