whats under upperclass/school? underschool/class?

is there high school?

which grades go to which kinda schools?

Answer 1

It varies from city to city or state to state.

When my older brothers were in school, elementary school was either pre-kindergarten or kindergarten to 6th grade. Middle school, or junior high, was 7th to 9th and high school was 10th to 12th grades.

When I was in either first or second grade, my district changed making the school pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, with middle school being 6th to 8th, & high school being 9th through 12th. When I got to fifth grade there had been talk of changing it again, and they did.

In 7th grade, after I'd already entered middle school, my district built a fourth school. Well, not really, there are various elementary schools in my area, but a fourth as far as elementary, middle, & high school go. They'd decided that there were too many kids, so they built a school specifically for 5th & 6th graders. So the current system is:

Elementary school: Pre-kindergarten to 4th grade

Intermediate school: 5th & 6th grades

Middle school: 7th & 8th grades

High school: 9th through 12th grades

The upperclass/school, or high school if you will, consists of Freshmen(9th), Sophomore(10th), Junior(11th), & Senior(12th)

I hope this helps.  :D

Answer 2

Elementary to us is grades k-5 or sometimes 6th grade and middle school is 6-8 or if its 7-8 then its junior high.. High school is 9-12 and its freshman sophomore junior and seniors.. Yeah u were close!!!

Answer 3

Ok, so here we call it High School not Upper School.

It goes like this:

9th grade- Freshmen

10th grade- Sophmore

11th grade- Junior

12th grade- Senior

then under that is Middle School. It varies but usually it's from grade 6-8

& Elementary School is from Kindergarten - 5th grade

Answer 4

Your question is kind of confusing....

Elementary school is grades k-4, 5, or 6 depending on the school.

Middle school is can start at grade 5, 6, or 7 and ends at 8th grade.

High school is from grades 9-12.  Freshmen, sophmore, junior, and senior.

Some schools have separate buildings for elementary, middle, and high school and smaller ones have k-12th grade all in the same building.

Answer 5

elementry is k-5

junior high is 6-8

and

high school is 9-12 [[ freshmen sophomore junior senior ]]
