To set the record straight...
In older times for Americans, the Elementary school was K to 6th grade, Junior High was 7th to 9th, and then High School was 10th to 12th grade.
About 20 to 30 years ago some school districts changed to the modern groupings: Elementary - K to 5, Middle - 6 to 8, High - 9 to 12.
(Went through this one myself, but my parents did went through the old one)
As for university vs college, it's almost the same. A college MIGHT have a degree program for bachelor's, but an university ALWAYS will have bachelor's for students to pursue.
Generally speaking, an university tends to have more students and a larger campus than a college.
It's a little like comparing a lake to a sea, "a large body of water" but the line between the two distinctives is a little blurry.

It's a little like comparing a lake to a sea, "a large body of water" but the line between the two distinctives is a little blurry. Actually a sea is a body of water surrounded by three coastlines. A channel has two coastlines, and a lake is completely surrounded. An ocean contains coastlined but is surrounded by nought. |

Things are a little murky in the English dictionary, unfortunately. |

I was talking about the english definitions. German has alot of words for different kinds of waters, mostly different seas and straits. |

I've never actually heard any specific definitions but I like this. I imagine Inland Seas have their own classification not included here as they are completely surrounded but are not a lake? |
