Pretty much the way it was when I was a kid in both VT & Maine. In FL, they kept referring to "Middle School". So, I would think, "That is 5th & 6th grade." But, actually, grades 6-8 are housed in the same buildings, and are referred to as 'middle schoolers'. K-5 [as opposed to K-9] is the elementary school age group. And Junior High exists only in our minds.
