#REDIRECT [[Secondary school]]
A "High school" is a specific type of secondary education within a specific tradition of education systems. Its main characteristics can be defined as:
is a comprehensive school that doesn't segregate between previous achievement or aptitude as selective schools do.
qualifies for higher education if completed
starts around grade 9, usually following middle school or "junior high school" (~ grades 6–8)

In legislations with more selective school systems such as Germany, high schools obviously aren't the predominant type of secondary schools, see how high schools are a specific type of secondary school there. In other legislations, high schools are called differently, such as "Higher Secondary" schools in India, or "Senior high schools" in the Philippines. In again other legislations without separate middle schools, broader secondary schools are often called just "secondary schools" – in fact, even some U.S. states gradually started replacing separate "high schools" (~ grades 9–12) and "middle schools" (~ grades 6–8) by unified "secondary schools" (~ grades 7–12).
