ACKSHUALLY

Osseo has a junior high (7-8-9) and senior high (10-11-12), not a middle school.

While we’re on the subject, junior high always made way more sense to me than middle school. 6th graders shouldn’t be in the same building as 8th graders. And 9th graders shouldn’t be in the same building as 12th graders.

It does not. I work in the district and while the high school is technically Osseo Senior High School, the middle school is Osseo Middle School. The high school has grades 9-12. The middle school is 6-8. I am confused where this info is coming from. Feel free to search Osseo School District ISD 279 and check for yourself. I voted on this very contest last week when our middle school science teachers shared it to the district.

What a weird thing for the other commenter to correct but be totally wrong about lol you'd think the only people who'd point out that kind of thing would have first hand knowledge. Did they just pull it out of their ass?

Oh wow, it must’ve changed. I went there, albeit many years ago now. Back when I attended, it was called Osseo Junior High and it had 7-8-9. Looks like the whole district changed over. Unfortunate.

Almost every middle/junior high everywhere has grades 6 through 8 now. Some may still buck against the norm, but that is the norm.

And junior highs are shifting into middle schools except if combined with high schools in the same building.

Yeah when the class sizes are too big they do that. My guess is you were there before all the high school additions that were added to accommodate the 9th graders. We have a 2nd and 3rd floor now in only ONE area that are not a complete circle but a U shape so traffic is terrible. Maybe you were there before the entire East wing was built too.

Middle schools don't have 9th graders

Shit, meant to say 8th. Frankly nobody should be in the same building as 8th graders. We’re all terrible little goblins at that age.

Yeah 6th to 8th is so different. I just think it's nice splitting 8th and 9th up, those are the two absolute worst years. I wouldn't wish it on anyone to have to teach both.

Personally I liked how my district did it back in the day. Elementary:1-4,intermediate:5-6,middle:7-8,high:9-12. It seemed to make sense but I think they’ve changed it up recently.

This is what my boys’ district is like. My oldest is only in kindergarten though so yet to be seen how it is in practice 😂
