What is school like for the adolescent?
What will be an ideal response?
Completing grades K through 4 or 5 in one school, attending middle school until grade
8, and then moving on to high school has become the most common pattern of
transitioning between schools. The transition to a new school setting is often
accompanied by a decline in grades and lower participation in school activities. Girls
tend to have a more difficult time with the transition into junior high school. The
primary reason for this appears to be the timing of the onset of puberty. For many girls,
the transition to junior high school and the onset of puberty coincide. About 15% of
young men and 12% of young women (aged 18-24) have dropped out of high school.
