What is middle school? No such thing when I was kid. Would it be the same as junior-high? Also, when I was younger, elementary was up to 6th, and junior-high went to 9th. High school was only 3 years. Funny thing, when I got into high school, it was 4 years, but I joined as a sophomore.

I wonder what politically-correct mind dreamed up the big change of grade level and name.
1-4 elementary
5-8 middle school
9-12 high school

I've never even heard of an elementary school that didn't go through the sixth grade... well, until now. Really?

I've never heard of a school ending in grade 5 either.

The only two ways I've ever heard of it being broken up was:

Method 1 -
Grade School: 1-6
Jr High / Middle : 7-8
High School: 9-12

Method 2 -
Grade School: 1-6
Jr High / Middle : 7-9
High School: 10-12

And, where I was raised, in Sacramento CA, it's done both ways depending on the school district.
