What is middle school? ...

I wonder what politically-correct mind dreamed up the big change of grade level and name.
I don't think this has anything much to do with political correctness. It has more to do with economics. When a community finds that many of its neighborhood schools are overcrowded, it might decide to build one school for the middle grades instead of expanding all of the neighborhood schools. And then "middle school" becomes a natural name for this new school house. This has happened in enough communities that the name "middle school" has become a commonplace, and is now also used for just that range of grades even when there is no separate school building.

Separate grade schools: K-4
Central 5th grade
Middle School: 6-8
High School: 9-12
