US. We have kindergarten (start at age 6) followed by grades 1 through 12. How they are divided depends on where you live. Here are three examples I have seen:
K-8: Primary school
9-12: Secondary school or High school
K-5: Elementary school or Grade school
6-8: Middle school
9-12: High school
K-6: Elementary school or Grade school
7-9: Junior high school
10-12: High school
Where I grew up it was k-2: primary, 3-5: elementary, 6-8: middle, 9-12: high.
Where I moved after college had primary, intermediate, and high; elementary, intermediate, and high; elementary, junior high, and high; all combinations, but I didn’t know the grade levels.

Anything beyond 12th grade is “post-secondary.”
