In Australia high school (or secondary college) covers 6 years, from about age 11 to 18. Bzzzt!

You have to be very careful about using these terms because something that's 100% fine in your area may mean something completely different in another part of the world...

A funny example: fanny. In the USA it's an ass, in the UK and AU it's a vagina.
