What country are you from and do you call it 1) elementary, junior high, high school 2) elementary, middle school, high school, 3) primary, ???, secondary? - eviltoast

Fyi: it’s called post secondary because, I think, UK calls it primary, secondary, and after that is post secondary.

    In Brazil the names changed quite a bit across the years. I believe that the current ones are

    • fundamental - 9 years (6yo to 14yo)
    • médio (middle) - 3 years (15yo to 17yo)
    • superior / universitário (universitarian) - typically 4~5 years, but it varies

    The first two used to be called primeiro grau (first grade), segundo grau (second grade). And even further back, the primeiro grau was actually two, primário (primary - 4y, from 7yo to 10yo) and ginasial (gymnasial - 4y, from 11yo to 14yo).
