In my area the first day of class is right after Labor Day and goes into mid to late June. Not sure if they still do, but for awhile they had a couple snow days built into the schedule so if they got used because of snow, great. If it didn't snow, they'd have a couple extra days off. Something like that anyway.

My daughters school starts at 7:45AM and gets out at 2:10pm.

They get 2 days in Nov for Thanksgiving.
A couple weeks for Christmas in Dec/Jan.
Mid Winter break in Feb
Spring break in April (Next week)
In service days here and there

Elementary school here is K-5
Middle School is 6-8
High School 9-12
(Back in my day, there wasn't a middle school, it was junior high... and was grades 7-9 /grumpy old man)

I think most children are 5, sometimes 6.

We have Kindergarten and Preschool, but preschool here is something you have to enroll your child in... like a private school almost.
