（美国）初级中学 CultureA junior high school is between the levels of elementary school and high school. A junior high school is linked to a particular high school. If the high school has four years of education, the junior high school will have two years, called seventh and eighth grades. In some systems each of the two offers three years of education, so the junior high school includes a ninth grade.Topics Educationb2Collocations DictionaryJunior high school is used before these nouns:- teacher
