Where you primarily went to school, how were the different levels of schools broken up? (U.S. Only, please.)

For me (public school, Bay Area, California):

Grammar/elementary/primary/grade school: K-6
Junior High/Middle School: 7-8
Senior High School: 9-12

Never heard of "Grammar" school.

For me it was Kindergarten on it's own.
Then "grade" school or elementary was 1st-6th
Junior high was 7-8
High school was 9-12
 
k-6, 7-8, 9-12 was the closest however we had kindergarten on its own then it was 1-6, 7-8 and 9-12. 1-6 was called elementary school not grammar school

middle /junior high were interchangeable, both were used

when i was in Maine K-6 was in 1 building. 7-12 in another building in a different town (massive rural school district) they seperated out 7-8 when i was a freshmen, think they built a new school now actually so its back to 7-12

the district contained 6 k-6 schools and then 1 7-12 or 1 7-8 and 1 7-12 depending on when you were there


moved to NY and 7-8 and 9-12 has separate building in the same town

America Junior posting.

In BC where I went to school it was originally:

Elementary K-7
High School 8-12

They have since added in a Middle school with grades 6-8.
 
Elementary: K-6
Junior High: 7-9
High School: 10-12

I understand they no longer do it that way in the district nowadays, however. I believe it's 7-8 and 9-12 now.
 
Mine was an oddball setup - we had:

2x K-5
1x 6
1x 7-9
1x 10-12

I was in the last 9th grade class to be set up like that. In between my 9th & 10th years, they vastly expanded the Jr. HS, made that expanded building the HS, and switched it around to:

2x K-4
1x 5 (old 6th grade center)
1x 6-8 (old HS)
1x 9-12
 
Funny. I just threw in the first choice (and the last one, BTW). I expected the second (or possibly the third) choice to run away with this.

That's why we make the polls, I guess?

I based my vote:

K-6, 7-9, 10-12

on my Ohio Schooling. But when I lived in NY, I lived in a very rural area where all grades were in the same school building.
 
K-6
7-12

It was a fairly rural area and there were two grade schools (K-6) and one large combined junior + senior high school (7-12).
 
In my city public schools were

Elementary K-6
"Middle" school 7-8
High School 9-12

Next town over it was

Elementary K-6
Junior High 7-9
High school 10-12

But I went to private schools and it was

Elementary K-8
High School 9-12

Fixed. Boston, MA.
 
From the bay area (San Jose) and I graduated HS in 2002

Elementary: K-6
Middle: 7-8
High School: 9-12

Some select students who applied for a program could go to middle school for the 6th grade, but the vast majority didn't. The school district changed so by the time I graduated everyone went to middle school for the 6th grade.

Elementary: K-5
Middle: 6-8

The difference socially between being a 6th grader at a K-6 vs. 6-8 must be huge.

Same with a 9th grader going to 7-9 vs. 9-12 (Imagine your Freshmen year as the oldest at the school instead of the youngest).

When I first started, my district was K-6, 7-9. 10-12. Then, it became K-5, 6-8, 9-12 when we built our new high school. I think I was the first class to do 9-12, but I'm not sure.
