Answer 1

I depends on what school you go to, generally. I don't know what the education in Jamaica is like, but I've gone from school to school in my own community. I went to a private, lutheran school for kindergarten through second grade, and the change from that to elementary school for third grade was astounding. I knew a lot more than the students that had always gone to that school.

I'd just research schools for a while before picking one. And if you go to a really large city, there will probably be specialized highs schools for specific interests.
