We have a mix but a lot are still called junior high and some intermediate school. -- nm - Krusty Jan 25, 14:21 1
- I think that's the only place I've heard of with junior high. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 14:38
is grade 8 middle school? I think that's where the whole system falls apart, most places 567 is middle school, 8-9 is junior high, 10-12 high. right? -- nm - judge indianapolis jones Jan 25, 13:49 14
- I don't think I've ever seen a place with middle and ju ior high. - the wrong element Jan 25, 15:54
- Primary K-6, secondary 7-12 -- nm - mafic Jan 25, 15:04

    - Smart, teach kids somewhat early that sometimes things just don't make sense. - the wrong element Jan 25, 15:48
  - Never heard of that one before. All different schools? -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 14:37
- Four levels?! Elementary 1-5, Middle 6-8, High 9-12 -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 14:09 2
  - Oh and similar to below when I was in 5th grade they made 6 middle. I was the year of the switch. -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 14:10 1
    - Me too!!!!! But I'm guessing it was a little earlier in the century. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jan 25, 14:47
- For me growing up: 1-6 elementary. 7-8 middle school/junior high. 9-12 high school - oblique Jan 25, 13:59 3
  - Same here. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 14:21
  - For me it was k-6 Elementary, 7-9 Jr High, 10-12 High, but they've since moved to k-5 Elementary, 6-8 Middle, and 9-12 High -- nm - Ender Jan 25, 14:04
  - I was in Catholic school which is 1-8. Public elementary was 1-6 and Junior High was 7-8. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 14:00
- All I know is that I have not seen any schools called "junior high" in a very long time. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 13:59
