My comment:

Bachillerato is High school and in some places in Latin america and Mexico high schools are divided depending on what the student want to study after so they ramificate into Math & Quemestry, literature & Science, etc....

what country is this from?

My comment:

"bachillerato" is a high school diploma in many countries; quinto would refer to the fifth year (maybe the last year, depending on the country). In the U.S., there isn't a distinction made as to what type of high school diploma. At the college level, "Ciencias y Letras" is Arts and Sciences.

I like this answer, but I would also put the Spanish name of the degree (as well as the school and the country in a footnote, if its not already in the document) in parentheses; that way anyone who wished to have the degree evaluated for its equivalency to another country's education system could have it done through an organization such as the World Education Service. Education systems are so different, even among countries where the language is the same, that it is only organizations like the World Education Service who are qualified to evaluate or equate degrees between two countries.

Your very right, Jack, about the educational systems being so different from one another among Spanish-speaking countries. I have discovered, also, from other translators that "bachillerato" is rarely translated into "bachelor's degree."
