I am not from America,I don't know anything about education there.Where can i get all the informathion?

I am from Kazakhstan. And I'm going to move to Los-Angeles next year. But the problem is that I can't find any sites where I could get all the information needed. I am not sure if I should go to college or to high school(I will graduate 9th grade in Kazakhstan). I would like to attend acting school. I speak russian so it would be perfect if the school would have russian studens and russian lessons(I am not sure that russian lessons are possible in L.A.). Should I pass any exams to attend schools in L.A.? Do students wear uniform at colleges/schools? Whick subjects are included? It would be really great if You helped me.
Thank you, Dina.

YOU CAN EITHER GO ON ONLINE TO YOUR LOCAL COUNTY SCHOOL WEBSITE OR GO ONLINE TO YOUR STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. BOTH SHOULD HAVE THE STATE GUIDELINES FOR ALL GRADE LEVELS CONTAINING CURRICULUM COURSE OF STUDY OBJECTIVES FOR ALL SUBJECT AREAS. YOU COULD ALSO GO TO A CITY WEBPAGE AND FIND ALL SORTS OF LOCAL INFO ABOUT SCHOOLS/DISTRICTS/CIVIC PROGRAMS & ACTIVITIES.
BASICALLY ALL SCHOOL SYSTEMS ARE DIVIDED INTO 3 LEVELS -
ELEMENTARY (KINDERGARTEN THRU 5TH OR 6TH GRADE) THESE KIDS WOULD START AT AGE FIVE AND COMPLETE ONE GRADE A YR
THEN MIDDLE SCHOOL - 6/7/8 TH GRADE
THEN HIGH SCHOOL 9/10/11/12TH GRADE COMPLETION OF ALL GRADES K-12 STUDENTS THEN ARE ELLIGIBLE FOR GRADUATION FROM HIGH SCHOOL-
YOUR LOCAL COUNTY SCHOOL WEBSITE SHOULD HAVE LINKS TO SCHOOLS SO U CAN VIEW & GET A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FACILITY/STAFF/PROGRAMS
