Here, there's "pre-school" which is < 5 YO.
Kindergarden is for when you're 5 YO.
Grade school is the next 12 years (grade 1 thru 12).
"Elementary school" is grades 1 thru 6,
with "junior high school" being grades 7 thru 9 and
"high school" being grades 10 thru 12.

Then there's college, often at a university. A "university" here is a 
college with campuses in more than one city. So you have "University of 
California San Diego" and "University of California in Berkeley", etc.

"Associate college" is  a 2-year degree program.

"College" is four years.

"Graduate school" is after you graduate from college, to get a masters or 
PhD or MD or whatever.
