Middle schools educate a wider range of students than junior highs do. These schools typically offer classes for students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Some schools offer classes for students in ninth grade too and provide students with one extra year of classes they can take before entering high school. According to Mary Tamer, middle schools make sense because these schools separate older children from younger kids. Middle schools make it easier for students to make the transition from elementary to high school and helps them understand what their teachers will expect from them later. https://www.topeducationdegrees.org/faq/what-is-the-difference-between-middle-school-and-secondary-education/
