Google tells me there's a difference of 1 due to the US calling year 1 kindergarten so year 10 is grade 9.

    It's all surprising to me. I did not know there were formals at that age. I thought they were a grad thing.

    It depends on the region, in my area of the US we had a Ring Ceremony formal in 10th grade for people getting their rings. Then Junior Prom in 11, and Senior Prom in 12th.

    I sorta remember a "homecoming" formal also but can't remember where that fit in.

    I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound stupid, but what is the ring for? Like a purity ring? Class ring?
