In Britain, no students graduate from high school.

Are they graduated from high school?

Most students used to leave at age 16, after taking O-levels, or
CSE's. Those going to higher ed (about 10%) took A-levels the last 2
years. After we took our exams in our last year, they gathered us
together and said "It's been nice having you here. Goodbye."
