It might be different for you guys but in the United State's Junior HighSchool each year you take a state exam and if you fail you go to summer school. Since Im in 8th grade and going to HighSchool next year I take a state exams for English,Science,Math and History and today I took part 1 of my History exam tomorrow is part2 (Essay -.-). Then June 24th I graduate then June 28th is last day of school.
