Not sure where you live, but here in Costa Rica, college is the equivalent to High School.

chile, HS isn't even that much of a real thing here, here is 8 years of basic education, 4 years of "middle education", (wich more times than not is´t thaaat different to basic education, but kinda is HS) and then University/trade school/army/carab. academy/directly to work
