Usually, starting in ninth grade, grades become part of a student’s official transcript. At this time, students are given more independence as choosing their own classes. Middle school is often used instead of junior high school when demographic factors increase the number of younger students. In some locations, junior high school includes ninth grade only, allowing students to adjust to a high school environment. It usually includes seventh and eighth grade, and sometimes sixth or ninth grade. The performers and directors thank all who helped to provide this once in a lifetime opportunity to our students.Junior high schoolis any school intermediate between elementary school and senior high school.
