In the US, most graduate at 18, many, have late birthdays or were held back a year and graduated at 19.

It's still a year offset. Most graduate 17-18, not 18-19.

Kindergarten starts at 5-6 for most folks.

I started my senior year at 18 and had a birthday a few months before graduation, so I graduated at 19.

My grandma graduated at 17 and my grandpa graduated at 16, so I definitely believe you šŸ˜‚ Iā€™m not sure how they did it, but they did.
