@deltaozzimo I had a weird set up. Up to 6th was elementary. Then for me, 7-9 was in Junior High, 10-12 High. However, in the same school district, but in other areas, it was 7-12 in a single building.
@ToddHagopian My understanding is that classes and studies outside of one's focus help to "develop a more well rounded individual". I'm in scienc and minored in writing, and the number of my peers who are incapable of writing anything coherent is astounding.
