I think I know what you are asking.... maybe You go to elementary school either K-5 or K-6 Then it branches off to either middles school or junior high. Middles school is 6-8 and Junior High is 7-9 So obviously depending on where you took elementary school, you will go to eithe a middle school or junior high. Then high school is either 9-12 or 10-12. Then you have the option to go to college wich is 1-8 depending on how long you stay of corse.

Do you mean MIDDLE school? Well it's really lame, people are very judgmental in middle school, and in middle school everyone thinks if you don't wear preppy cloths your a loser. But in a nutshell it's super lame. I hated middle school. High school is so much better, people don't care what you wear. I love high school.

American junior high schools (7-9) were created to give elementary school students a bridge to senior high school. Junior high schools are structured like senior high schools - organized into academic departments. The junior high school concept traditionally was not collegial or personal enough for student advancement. Middle schools (6-8) were created to allow teachers to work in 'teams.' The idea was for a team of teachers to share a group of students. The team would collaborate on assignments and activities. Most importantly, the middle school student was expected to benefit from the arrangement as the teachers communicated with each other about the student's strengths and weaknesses.
