Skoleelev or Elev for 1-13th grade
Student* - For Higher Education Then the female version is "Studinne", but it really isn't used that much, just like the female version of friend, only when needed.

20 years ago no one in Higher Education would dream of calling themselves an "Elev" now we are more relaxed, but "I am a Student as I study" and you wouldn't use that expression for anyone not in Higher Education, they learn not study. Just like I don't "go to school", "I study" or "go to Name Of Uni" or "Study whichever degree you are getting". It is getting less strict and there are some overlap between High School and Uni (as we do Trade School at the same age as High School)

*We pronounce it differently, but same word.

No wonder we learnt pupil in school then, as they taught us the completely useless "International English" which only exists in books and is pretty much made up of UK English, just not always the modern or most common words.

I am familiar with the British Education system, we even learnt why you call the school you pay for Public schools instead of Private schools in a lecture not to long ago. But not familiar enough to know exactly which term you use for which age group. We do High School from either 11th to 13th grade or 11 and 12th grade if you take the Trade School route. And junior high from 8th to 10th grade, while Primary school is 1st to 7th grade. (tho only 1st to 10th grade is required by law, up to year 13 is not mandatory, but you are guaranteed a spot in a program, then Uni we all and we all have the same scholarship/loan system)
