We even use the freshman-senior thing in university.

I am a perpetual junior, as I tell everyone.

And yes, junior is grade 11 here.

I geuss it really doesn't work like that in the US. You could still be taking a few classes that you missed and still be a junior or whatever. But if you were held back in middle or elementary school, then you just be behind a year of your normal class.

Grade nine isn't part of high-school here. it goes K-6, 7-9, 10-12.

pshaw. high schools in North Vancouver start at grade eight.

in my school, we call them grade eights.

nines and tens are juniors.

elevens are seniors.

twelves are grads.

oh, and there's no "middle school". it's K-7, 8-12.

oh, and another thing: the prom/grad/formal is more commonly known as the banquet. it's only for grads, but they're allowed to invite younger kids.
