Actually, junior high is 7-9 and senior high is 10-12. Our district does not use the term "middle school." (When the new jr high was built, 6th graders were there briefly, but it didn't work out at all to have 11 year olds with 14 & 15 year olds.) Freshmen can participate in some senior high activities (band, chorus) but they are closely monitored, and not allowed to attend senior high social events.

Personally, I think it's a much better option than throwing 14 year olds into senior high social life.
