junior high and high school?
 

would someone please explain me what's the difference between junior high and high school? I'm translating a resume right now.

Here in Mexico, we have "primaria" - 6 years (elementary school), "secundaria - 3 years (I guess this one is junior high) and then "preparatoria" - 3 years (I guess this one is high school), after this we have University, etc.

Am I right?

Thanks a lot

Viva la Mexico!

I think junior becomes before the high school

in the US junior high is 7-8th grade, sometimes 6th, HS is 9-12

That's correct. Jr. High usually consists of 7th and 8th grade (sometime 9th grade also), while High School is 9th - 12th grades.

This is what I needed to know. Thanks :thumbsup

Hahahaha, your sig rocks

Depends where you are. Where I went to school, K-6 was elementary, 7-9 was junior high, and 10-12 was senior high. Where we live now, K-6 is elementary and 7-12 is just called high school.

Hey man... can you icq me plz?

I think JUNIOR HIGH means 3rd year high school, while HIGH SCHOOL consists of all 4 year levels.

Somebody with their junior high school ON A RESUME?

Skills learned: spitballs, masturbation, masturbation, nintendo, masturbation.

HIRE HIM!

Of course it doesn't say the skills learned, it is just the info where he studied.

I don't know how is in US or Mexico but here we got:

Osnovno ( 8 years) as Junior School
Sredno (4 years) as High School
