Being in year 8 means you're a 7thgrader according to the American system right?

And being a 7thgrader means you're in high school, right?

No.
9th is beginning of highschool for most American schools.

So what does year 8 mean in the American system?

And if by 'Year 8' you mean '8th year of being in school', then that depends on if a child went right to Kindergarten or if they had to go to 'Young 5s' or a preschool first.

I am so confused now. I don't know...

The usual pattern is this;
Elementary
Kindergarten
First Grade
Second Grade
Third Grade
Fourth Grade
Fifth Grade

Middle School/Junior High
Sixth Grade
Seventh Grade
Eighth Grade

High School
Ninth Grade/Freshman
Tenth Grade/Sophomore
Eleventh Grade/Junior
Twelfth Grade/Senior

I don't know about all of America, as most states will adjust their educational systems their own ways sometimes, but that is the usual progression of education.

Young Fives or Preschool are optional by the parents.

Year 8 would likely be 7th Grade, but it is not the start of high school.
