whats the american term for junior high?

<p>The school system I graduated from was orginally K-6: elementary; 7-8: middle; 9-12 high...then my particular school broke up the elementary school to K-3; primary; 4-6: intermediate.</p>

<p>However, terminology varies widely from region to region and even within the same region...no real consensus to it in my experience.</p>
