jr. high
Pre-high school years
Jr. high is short for junior high school—the educational level between elementary school and high school, typically covering grades seven through nine or seven and eight.
The term is somewhat dated, as many school systems have replaced junior high with middle school: I had my first girlfriend in jr. high.
