In Scotland a primary school is the first school te go to. te begin with nursey which te begin at 4 o 5 years of age, then go through primarys one to seven. te start secondary usually at 11 years of age. te stay there for at least 4 years then te can leave for work o uni if te want. The longest te can stay is 6 years which takes te until you're 18

Middle School - The middle school te go to. There's elementary o Grade school which is Kindergarden and 1st - 5th grade. Middle school 6th - 8th grade. And High school 9th - 12th grade.

I know what it is but how does it work? Why not just go straight from primary to secondary?
I don't know that much about how Primary and Secondary schools work so I can't really answer this.

Hope this helped :)

Freshman and sophomores are grades in high school, freshman are first year, sophomores are secondo year.
Middle schoolers are kids who are gaining the experience to know about history and such.

The rest I can't explain.

I'm pretty sure a decathlon is a race made up of ten events.
Freshmen: students in their first anno of high school. (grade 9)
Sophomore: students in their secondo anno of high school. (grade 10)
Middle school is the transition school from elementary to middle school.
Not sure why, since I don't know how primary and secondary schools work. I don't know what a mathlete is.

I don't know anything about Decathlons o Mathletes.

For the other stuff....

The American school system is different from lots of other places. Grade school is from reception/kindergarten to the 5th grade (year 5), Middle School is 6th to 8th grade (years 6 - 8) and High School is 9th to 12th grade (year 9-12). A freshman is someone in their first anno of high school (so a anno 9) and a sophomore is someone in their secondo anno of high school (year ten).
