And high school is usually seperate from the others, right? While the other years, past kg, would probably be in the same school, just vthe stages have different names? Or do I have that wrong?
It's Sam and Dean so they're in the public system (state school which doesn't have anything before kindergarten) so in my expreance here's the break down:
kindergarten and first are on one campus, 2-8 is on another ans 9-12 is its own.
The highschool will have a larger catchment group and therefore is liable to be miles from home while the lower grades will be close to wherever you're living.
In my area of the US, elementary is K-4th, middle school is 5th-8th, high school is 9th-12th. The middle and high used to be the connecting buildings and the 2 elementary schools were seperate from middle, high, and each other. Then new high school was built and the two elementary school melded and moved into the old middle school building and the middle school moved into the old high school. It really depends on the area, but you can rationalize anything you choose.
lol, you poor thing for asking this. you didn't realize the can of worms you were opening. to my understanding, it's regional. I grew up in the south (in texas) and our school is generally structured: K-5 = elementary or grade school, with playgrounds and one teacher all day 6-8 = middle school, where you get a locker and 6-7 class periods and ginormous 14yo's that threaten to beat the crap out of you (at least, that's the way it feels in 6th grade. oh, the terror) 9-12 = high school, full of angst and ennui. lol.
in the north, they fall more into the four-level system some seem to have described above. I honestly didn't know such systems existed until I went overseas (ironically) and met kids from other parts of the country that said they'd gone to schools were 5-7 were grouped together and then 8-9, and I was like, bzuh? that's crazy talk! lol. so really, it's a regional question. I'm not familiar enough with supernatural to know where they grew up. lo, the sadness that is no CW in my town :(
I seem to remember I asked this once before and never got it then either. lol
Well, the thing is that they grew up everywhere, or so it seems. Never stopping in one place long enough to wake suspicion or get social services called on them. When you live off credit card scams and leave two small children to fend for themselves days on end you really don't want to stay long enough for anyone to notice. Of course we really don't know that much, just seen glimpses and heard hints of what their life was like but I'd say it's safe to say they attended school erratically and cross country.
it's weird to me that they would have ever been registered in school, although I'm sure canon probably says they do. it's just that if they were that nomadic (and weren't they living in hotels?) I would think it would be hard to register for school from a permanent address, since that's generally required so that you're paying school tax in that district.
ok sorry that has nothing to do with what you're doing. I was just thinking. too much. haha.
anyway, if they grew up everywhere, I'd say you can't go wrong with what system you pick :)
