grade school
Where it comes from
In contrast to high schools, the subsequent secondary school type, classes of this kind of school do not have typical nicknames.
In a grade school all classes are simply enumerated 1st to 8th grade (called form or year in British English).
In a high school, on the other hand, school year groups are in everyday parlance referred to as freshman/sophomore/junior/senior year.
noun grade schools
- Elementary school; primary school.
