"primary school/ secondary school"


Explanation:
"primário" em Português significa "escola primária" e são os primeiros 4 anos de escola de um aluno. Em inglês a resposta é "primary school"
"ginásio" suponho que seja o período escolar seguinte, que em inglês corresponde a "secondary school" (ensino secundário - em Português).

elementary e middle schools


Explanation:
Não sei de onde estão saindo as outras, mas pesquisei para ver se era só aqui no Colorado e não é não. Veja os sites abaixo. Acho que o padrão americano é composto por elementary schools que vão da 1a. à 5a. e a middle school vai da 6a. à 8a. POde haver alguma variação nos anos, mas não nos nomes. A elementary mais a middle equivalem no isstema brasileiro ao Primeiro grau.
