8th grade is the third year of middle school. If it's 7-9 it's called a junior high school. A middle school is 6-8.

I went to a school with a big sign that says "middle school" out front. The sign is still there. I drove by it yesterday. The school was and still is 7th and 8th grades. Apparently the terminology is regional.

My job involves working with literally thousands of schools and, without getting into the reasons why we needed to, we tried to determine exactly how to categorize schools into elementary, middle, and high school based solely on the grades.

We determined that there is no way to do this, as the division is not statutorily defined with any regularity and even then, the grades in each type of school vary from school district to school district and even very occasionally within school districts (never figured out why, so don't ask).

Here's what I learned:

Some schools start middle school as early as 5th grade.

Some start middle school as late as 7th grade.

Some don't use middle school at all and consider up to 8th graders to be elementary students.

Some middle schools stop at 6th grade and consider 7th and 8th graders to be in high school.

Some consider 9th grade to be middle school and don't consider high school to start until 10th grade.

So saying that someone is a middle schooler without further clarification means they're somewhere from 5th grade to 9th grade, so likely between 10 and 15 years old.

In my school district it was about population growth and the need for X number of classrooms. Schools get shuffled around.

For many years 5th graders were all alone in their own school and middle went 6-8

Mine was 7-8. I know some smaller districts that just lump middle school into the high schools too

I spent 5th grade in a district where that was the end of elementary school, and then 6th in one where that's when elementary school ends. I ended up having two graduations. I kind of phoned in the second one.
