schoolgirl

Uniformed young learner

A schoolgirl is a girl who attends school, typically referring to primary or secondary students rather than university.

The word often evokes images of uniforms, youth, and innocence: She wore her hair in schoolgirl braids.

As an adjective, schoolgirl describes qualities associated with young female students—sometimes naivety, sometimes enthusiasm: a schoolgirl crush.
