I cant find my middle school on the Common App, do I need to put it if I took 9th grade at a junior high? My high school is only 10-12

Your entire 9th grade was taken at the middle school? Then, yes, you need to include it.

Thanks, would I list all of the years I went to the middle school including 7th and 8th grade or is putting 2014-2015 fine for 9th grade?

I don’t have the Common App open, but I think the instruction just asks for 9-12, so 2114-1015 for 9th is fine.

I actually asked my counselor this question a few weeks ago and she said no, because for me, it’s all on one transcript, even the high school classes I took in 7th and 8th grade. If you didn’t transfer districts, you shouldn’t need to, but I’d ask your counselor just to be sure.

OK, I’m going to correct myself, since, I just opened the Common App. It asks:

So if 9th grade is not considered HS in your district, particularly if your 9th grade grades are on your transcript, it probably does not matter. But as noted above, check with your GC as you certainly aren’t the first person at your school that has had this question.

Talk to your guidance counselor and see how it is handled in your school district. This issue must come up for every student applying to college from your HS and there must be a standard way it is dealt with.
