Middle school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1451 words) |
 | Middle school (also known as intermediate school or junior high school) covers a period of education that straddles primary education and secondary education, serving as a bridge between the two. |
 | The notion of Middle Schools was mooted by the Plowden Report of 1967 which proposed a change to a three-tier model including First Schools for children aged between 5 and 8, Middle Schools for 8–12 year-olds, and then Upper or High Schools for 12–16 year-olds. |
 | This is meant as a hybrid, to ease the transition from elementary school to high school for students. |
