I'm thinking about moving in with some relatives in England, but I'm curious as to how the schools work. What grades are there? I heard you only go until you are 16 years old, but here we go until 18. Help?

Secondary school (high school) is for 11-16 year olds. education after that is not compulsary. Unlike in the states collage is free.

Yep, over here compulsory schooling finishes at 16 when you take your GCSE exams, and providing you meet the grades you can then progress to college (optional, but you'd be a fool not to do it - leaving school at 16 to work gives you very few opportunities other than minimum-wage shop work) which can then lead to university (a great experience and pretty much the only way if you want to get a well paid job at the end of it all). If you move to England then remember to bring your coat! :-)
