K12 education

K-12 education refers to the publicly funded schooling system that spans from kindergarten through the 12th grade, typically covering children ages 5 to 18. It encompasses primary education (grades K-5), middle school (grades 6-8), and high school (grades 9-12). The aim of K-12 education is to provide a foundation in core subjects like math, science, language arts, and social studies, while also offering extracurricular activities and support services. This framework prepares students for higher education, vocational training, or entering the workforce, ensuring they are equipped with essential skills and knowledge for adulthood.
