Definition of undefined

The term "middle school" emerged in the early 20th century, as a response to the growing need for a transitional stage between elementary and high school. The concept of a separate school for this age group was influenced by progressive education movements, which advocated for age-appropriate learning environments. The term "middle school" gained widespread acceptance in the 1960s, becoming the dominant label for this educational level.
