Elementary school is a school for students in their first school years, where they get primary education before they enter secondary education. The exact ages vary by country. In the United States, elementary pupils are unusually aged between 4 and 8.^[1] and in Japan, the age ranges from 6 to 12 before the pupils enter Middle School. Elementary school is usually part of compulsory education, especially in Western countries.
