What will be an ideal response?


ANS: Junior high schools arose in the mid-1900s to bridge the gap between elementary school and high school, which more people were attending by this point in U.S. history. They focused on meeting the emotional and intellectual needs of students in grades 7-9. Middle schools, established for grades 5-8, developed after the 1960s and are the more common model in public education today. The belief was they would focus more on pre-adolescents’ transition to becoming adolescents.
