"Year 7" is not high school in the US. That is distinctly junior/middle school. Year 7 is also the first year of secondary school (high school) in the UK.

  High school in the US == 6th Form in the UK.

    No, 6th form is from 16 to 18 years.

      Which is almost exactly what high school is in some parts of the US (that is, in places where it is 10-12 grade.) The thing is, while the US tends to have the Elementary/Middle or Junior High/(Senior) High split in most places, the grade levels aren't the same. I've seen (and this may not be exhaustive) the splits with the following grade levels: 1-5/6-8/9-12 1-6/7-8/9-12 1-6/7-9/10-12

        Two more splits: In my hometown (in Tennessee), the split was originally K-3/4-8/9-12, but around 2000 they completed the construction of a new high school, so the old high school became the new junior high and grades 4-8 got redistributed so that it was now K-2/3-5/6-8/9-12.
