U.S. Only: Grammar, Junior High and High School?

[MotionMan]

Elementary K-8
High School 9-12

Where I'm at now they have:
Elementary K-5
Middle 6-9
High School 10-12

That's just stupid. First of all "Middle School" should never include 9th grade. "Middle School" should be 6-8 or 7-8; if it includes 9 it is "Junior High". Secondly, there should be no such thing as a "Junior High" or any segregation of 9th grade. 9th-graders are freshmen and low people on the high school food chain. By segregating them into Junior High schools you take what should be the year of humbling and make it a year where they're the big kids on campus. If there's one solid reason why kids these days are horrible people it's because these damn "Junior High" schools have spoiled them.

IMO, Middle School = Junior High School = Intermediate School (what mine was, officially), regardless of grades.

my area:

Elementary School: K-6 (technically, DK-6, there is a Developmental Kindergarten before the "main" Kindergarten in every elementary school for my district)
Junior High: 7-8
High: 9-12

Our district also has 7th and 8th in two different buildings on the high school campus. My district is awesome like that. We also only had 1 high school that all the schools fed into (class size about 500ish). We are proper city limits, but my district isn't the main public school system in the city, but it is indeed a public school system.

If I end up getting stuck in this city and end up having kids while stuck here, I'll make sure I live in the zones for my old district. Much better school system than the main Toledo school system.
Then again, I hope I can get a chance to get out of here. Don't want to subject any children of mine to this shitty city.

Alexandria/Fairfax County and ours was 1-6 elementary, 7-8 intermediate, and 9-12 high school. While I was in high school Fairfax built a couple of huge schools that were 7-12 called secondary schools. The system I work for now is K-5 elementary, 6-8 middle school, and 9-12 high school.

Not to answer for Meghan but kindergarten was an option when I was a kid. Born in 64. Don't know when it became required. 5K required around here but my kid had 3K and 4K, too.

The grade school where I went was K-8, then you went to high school 9-12. Other schools in the same school system were K-6, then Jr. High, 7-9, and High school 10-12, but the parents had the option of sending the kid to High school for the 9th grade if they wanted.

Grammar/elementary/primary/grade school: K-5
