I meant that it was exclusively 'through' high school, which would exclude
kindergarten and grade school. 7th and 8th grades are considered to be
middle school and 9th grade could be either middle school or high school.

The middle school I went to was the first to have 7th, 8th and 9th grades
in one school. I started 7th grade when the school was 9 months old, being
part of the first class to attend that school for 3 years inclusively.
Previously, 9th grade was a first year high school grade. Ironically, I
failed 9th grade English and had to go back for that class from the high
school.

Yeah, and I don't recall why. That was a favorite magazine when I was in
my early teens.
