response: That's interesting. I know that education is divided into stages, like primary, secondary, and university. What is high school in relation to that?

University's what we call school over here. Secondary school is the equivalent of high school. And we have primary school instead of elementary school.
knowledge: A middle school (also known as intermediate school or junior high school) is an educational stage which exists in some countries, providing education between primary school and high school (secondary school).
response: Interesting.  Do you have Middle School as a separate thing, or is it folded into either primary or secondary?

Grades 1 thru' 7 are primary school and grades 8 thru' 13 are secondary school. After that, you go to university (school). Confused yet? :)

50% is the pass rate over there, but the system has changed since I was there. Used to be you were awarded an A, B or C to pass an exam, A being the highest grade. Anything below a C was a fail.

Sure! In the UK, you usually need a bunch of A grades to get into university. If you don't have those you generally go to college. If you pass your college course, sometimes you go on to university.
knowledge: Millions of high school students apply to college each year.
response: That's interesting. It seems millions of students from high school apply to go to college every year.
