Junior high (slso called middle school) is anywhere from 6-9th grades, depending on the school system. My first middle school was 7-8 my first year, and 6-8 the second. Some high schools (my 2nd) go from 8th-12th.
High schools in my area have started earlier lately. Most of ours go from 7:15-2:15. The excuse is apparently that this way, the older students would be home in time to take care of their younger siblings.
I think both times I transfered schools, the guidance counselor helped with class schedules. They'll pick out classes similar to the ones in the previous school. This was a sticky situation one year, and I ended up being taught French during the Spanish teacher's free period. Another school, I ended up a sophmore in freshman civics.
