There Was No "Middle School" Back In The Day
I understand that middle school comprises grades 6-8.
Back in the day, govt. schools had these classifications:
Grades 1-6, elementary school; grades 7-9, jr. high school; grades 10-12,
high school.
Certain high schools offered 9th grade classes for kids who had excelled
academically through 8 grades, but they had to take a special test to gain
admittance.

Catholic schools had a different set-up. Grades 1-8 were elementary school
and grades 9-12 were high school.
