You learn shapes and colors in Primary school. If you are just learning it in Elementary, then you are very far behind.

I am assuming you don't know this but Primary schools and Elementary schools are practically the same thing but the name differs in what region you are from.

I am assuming you don't know this but not always, dear. In my town, up until this year, we had a Primary school and an Elementary school.

I see. When I started elementary school it was Pre-K to 4th Grade but some go from K-5 and two schools I knew had a pre-school class then went up to 4th grade.

Due to budget cuts they combined the two schools this year, though it spreads through two buildings. Now K-2 is in the old Primary building and 3-4 is in the Elementary building, but it's all Elementary. 5th grade is in the Middle school building now, where they also have the Alternative school kids.

Yeah, what IS the difference between primary and elementary school? Where I live, elementary school is K-6th grade and then high school is 7-12

Where I'm from elementary school is K-5, junior high is 6-8 and high school is 9-12. I don't know what primary school is. I always thought it was the same thing as elementary school

The school I go to now is 2 years behind Texas I believe so I kind of am late but I take courses that would make it only 1 year behind if the first statement was correct.
