They attend eight years of elementary school and four years of high school (or secondary school).  The money for flee public schools comes from taxes, and each state is responsible for its own educational system. State legislatures set the educational requirements but leave the management of the schools in the hands of the local communities. Most states require their children to go to school until a certain age: this age varies from 16 to 18 years according to the laws of the individual states. The federal government contributes funds to the states for additional schools and school services.
