escuela secundaria
Explanation:
en México y en varios países latinos se le llama "escuela secundaria" a los grados de enseñanza que comprenden del 6º al 8º grado, o del 7º al 9º grado, que serían equivalentes a lo que en E.U. llaman "junior high school" o "middle school."

Espero le sea de utilidad.

secundaria


Explanation:
Although the years are devided differentltly in the US than in Mexico (where I went to school), junior high would be the equivalent of secundaria. Although we had three years of secundaria and then three years of preparatoria between the six years of grade school and college, there's actually more going on. For example, in preparatoria you pick classes that incline you toward a college program. In other words, in preparatoria I went through pre-med and went right into med school. Still, the equivalent and what would be recognized here is : junior high = secundaria and preparatoria = senior high. Hope this helps! Good luck!
