7º y 8º grado
Explanation:
Según entiendo, el sistema escolar en EEUU (no sé si el texto es de este país) está dividido en elementary school (1º a 5º), middle school (6º a 8º), junior high (7º y 8º, denominado así porque precede al high school) y high school (9º a 12º, que en mi país se conoce como secundaria o enseñanza media). En todo caso las divisiones varían :-/

"In the United States (...) junior high schools include grades 7 and 8 or 7 through 9. Many junior highs are designed similarly to high schools. This is meant as a hybrid, to ease the transition from elementary school to high school for students. Sometimes they are called Intermediate schools (...) The middle school format has now replaced schools using the junior high format by a ratio of about ten to one in the U.S."

neutral  Ana Santos: Estás en lo correcto con relación a los grados; sin embargo, en una traducción general para un país de habla hispana, "escuela secundaria" es mucho más comprensible. Esto, según la experiencia que tengo en este campo. Slds
