[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Traditional and charter schools need to both start middle school at the same grade.  When do private schools start middle schools?  Across the nation, at what grade do most middle schools start?  What was the reason for changing from junior high to middle schools? All middle schools that receive any public funding need to start at the same grade. This would provide uniformity and stop brain drain and confusion in certain grades. What are the plans to improve all middle schools and make them competitive so that parents won’t chase certain schools just for the feeder school path and won’t abandon traditional schools? [/quote]

Some privates begin middle at 5th. Others at 4th. And still others, such as Catholic parochial schools, don't have middle school at all but rather have K-8th elementaries.

Close to DC, MoCo starts middle at 6th and Fairfax County has K-6th grade, with 7th and 8th grade being middle schools. There is no uniformity.

DCPS still has Pk3-8th schools as well, and some have no plans to be folded into a 6th-8th-grade model. [/quote]
