So what you call grammar school is what Americans call high school.

Sort of, yes. Everyone goes to primary school until they're 12, 8 grades in total, then goes to secondary school which lasts either 4, 5 or 6 years. Sis just completed the 6-year-which-includes-the-classical-languages type.

Classical languages in high school? Well, there's one more proof that the European educational system is superior to the American.

But then only high school for the most intelligent kids.

So what happens to the average ones?

There are three ability levels. Or really, four.
