Young Sheldon takes place in the 1980s and the 1990s. This series is a spin-off to the hit TV series The Big Bang Theory. In Young Sheldon, it shows the main character Sheldon Cooper at his high school in Medford, Texas, which is a fictional town. In the first season, he is 9 years old and is already attending high school due to his extreme intelligence.

Sheldon Cooper ends up graduating high school at the extremely young age of 11 years old and starts attending college full time at a very young age.
