  3. “The greatest differences in the K-12 organizational cultures exist in the gap between middle school and high school. • Pre-school feels like kindergarten • 5th grade feels like 6th grade • The Senior year is similar to being a Freshman in college but….. The 8th grade is nothing like the 9th grade!” Jay Hertzog on a quote from Whitefish Bay Schools, Wis.

  4. What Are The Major Differences in 8th Grade and 9th Grade? • Size of the Campus. • Scheduling & Class Changes: Students are scheduled individually instead of in teams. • Academic Competition: Students compete for GPA & Class Ranking for College entrance & Scholarship money. • Classroom Expectations: Different system of instruction, rules & expectations. • May be in some classes with older students. • Discipline policy often includes more severe consequences. • Often parents become less involved than they were in elementary and middle levels.
