It used to be that Junior High meant 7-9 grades while High School was 10-12 grades. It seems that more and more, there is Elementary School for Kindergarted-5 grades, Middle School for 6-8 grades, and High School for 9-12 grades. I think you may actually find variations of those through the country.

kids in middle school are usually aged from 11 to 14 years (6th through 8th grade) high school kids are usually 14 to 18 years (9th through 12th grade)

In the USA, we have 3 stages of schools now. First, Elementary School, which is Kindergarten , to grades 5 or 6, ( depending where you are ) and then MIDDLE SCHOOL is separate for just grade 6,7, and 8 ( again, maybe not 6, depends where you are ) Then High School, which is grades 9,10,11, and 12. * Middle School used to be called Junior High School. It used to be grades 7 to 9 in this forum.

Some districts have a school just for freshman. Most begin in 9th grade.
