Is middle school just a thing in the USA (I assume from the comments) or other countries too? I don't know anything about it. How many years is it, what age range? It's always the same number of years?
(Also, people from the USA use the words 'sophomore', 'freshman' etc as if they're internationally understood, I have no idea what they mean, although I've heard them many times. Something to do with middle school perhaps.)
In Australia there's just primary school (Kindergarten + years 1-6), then high school (secondary school, years 7-12), then university (tertiary).
- amanaplanacanal 8y agoI think there are a couple different systems. When I was in school it was primary (1-6), junior high (7-9) and high school (10-12). I think more common now is primary (k-5), middle school (6-8) and high school (9-12), but it might vary from place to place.

- cr0sh 8y agoFreshman, sophomore, junior, senior are the names for the high school grades 9-12. Kindergarten is usually for children 5 or 6 years old; 1st grade, 6-7 years old, etc. By 12th (senior) year of high school, kids are usually somewhere between 17-19 years of age.
