In the USA the laws vary slightly according to what state you are in. There is no universal standard.
Traditionally, most states started kids in 1st grade of grammar school if they were either 5 1/2 or 6 years old at the start of the school year in Sept. So, a kid ten years old in September would probably be in 5th or 6th grade.
These days many states require kids to go to kindergarten before they attend 1st grade, so they would probably start K at age 5. Many children attend nursery or even pre-nursery from age 3...
US students go to elementary school until grade six, then middle school for grade 6/7/8 or 7/8 and then high school grades 9 - 12.
In a few places grad 9 is in middle school.
So, most American students are 18 when they graduate from HS and start college...

Some school districts are different.
Plus some parents decide to keep their kids back.
