@Frankzhang_did_wHaT the American School system is complicated, but not bad. 
          	  
          	  There are four years of high school, and the last two years you can take the SATs (they are required but you can choose with year) which will help you with college. If you take AP classes, that gives you a better chance of a better college, or a scholarship, though you can get one without AP classes.  
          	  
          	  Every year there are two main dances, Prom which is a huge deal, and Homecoming which is less of a deal, but still important.
          	  
          	  In my area, which is California, we only have to take PE, physical education, for two years to get credits, and we need one year of arts. So like art, choir, dance, band, or drama. 
          	  
          	  Freshman is the first year, then Sophomore, the Junior, the Senior.
          	  
          	  There are electives, which are the classes you can choose depending on what you like to do. I take Student Government and Drama, because those are the classes I decided were best for my interests. 
          	  
          	  At my school, we have this thing called PAW, which is like study hall where you get homework done, or just read.
          	  
          	  That’s what I know.
