Elementary-usually 1st thru 5th grade
middle-6th thru 8th grade
High School-last 4 years

some schools skip the middle school crap & have 1-8 & high school

i assumed elementary was when you were 2 ~ 4 yrs old, middle when you were 4 ~ 12 yrs old and highschool for 12 ~ 18 yrs...

Nooo, high school is only four years long, just like college.

what's all this elementary, middle and high rubbish?

i had a couple of primary schools and a seconday school where i stayed for 6th form.

there. much better terminology

It also made 0 sense... Err, what is 6th form?

Nambit, you know what middle school is! You know, year 4,5,6 and 7?


Jerrek...6th form here is the last two years of high school.
High school here can last for about 7 years, from the age of 11-18.
Middle school is usually 4 years, from about 8-11/12 years old.

It only didn't make sense to you because you have a different school system.

I took elementary to mean primary school, which I went to from the age of 4-8.

The burned hand teaches best... so I learned physics by way of jamming my arm in and out of a roaring fire one semester.
