However, some U.S Middle schools run 6-8 and in some situations can run 7-9.  
The school district I atteneded was K-6 Elementary, 7-8 Junior, and 9-12 
High.  But not too long ago, after they build another Middle school on the 
other side of town (when I attented we had two district highschools but only 
one Juinor High) it switched to the 6-8 method.  Another local school 
district is the 7-9 method with high school running 10-12.

<<11th--- Junior---- take SAT's--- test that helps you get admited 
into "college"--- term used for both 4-year Universities or Community 
colleges.>>

Also not every student takes the SAT's it depends on where you live and where 
you plan on attending college.  I took the ACT's which are similar but not 
exactly the same things.  I think some colleges prefer the SAT's but most 
will look at either/or.

6th grade *or* Junior High <sniff>
