Grammar School

Why do job applications have grammar school instead of elementary school?

Not all school districts have "elementary" school.

Some have Primary, junior, high, charter, academies, et al.

However, Grammar school refers to anything less than "high school", which is 9- 12th grade.

# of school principals, high school and grammar school in the US?

# of school counselors, high school and grammar school, in the US?

Some tips for you:

1) Dept. of Education statistics
2) Association of High School Principals and administrators might also have such numbers.

Lastly, always remember that a PrinciPAL is your PAL... and a principle is an idology you stand up for.

It's an easy mistake, but a large one when using a search engine. I hope this helps!

What is the difference between a comprehensive, a grammar school and an a academy in the UK education system?

A comprehensive is a state school providing education for 11-16, and sometimes with a sixth form for up to 18. A grammar school is also a non-fee paying school but you have to pass an exam called an 11-plus to get in. I would like to add- to whoever said that there is more emphasis on academic rather than sport......I see what you mean but not really
I am at a grammar school and I am sick to death of PE- we do it twice a week whatever the weather and lessons are an hour long- and I can't wait until next year when it goes down to one hour a week! Admittedly, there is a lot of emphasis on school work too though, but we do just as much sport as a comprehensive. Also, there is NOT necessarily more middle class- it is anyone from any class who is slightly brighter and can pass the 11 plus. I am certainly not middle class and I don't think there is anyone in my school class who I would say is middle class. Remenber a grammar school is not a fee-paying school- it doesn't matter how much money you have.
An academy is (I think) a boarding school- where you pay fees to go there and stay in term time, only coming home at weekends and school holidays.

Is grammar school grades 6-8? Do you call earlier grades levels elementary school, or do you have another name for that?

You usually call the younger grades grammar school...I would guess K-5 would be grammar school, but it's usually not used that much. It's basically a synonym for elementary school, while grades 6-8 is junior high.

Also, is Sutton Grammar School, Surrey, a good sixth form, do you get any private sector school pupils enter?

i don't know about this one in particular, you could ring them and ask directly.

but for my grammar school, we had around 30 new entrants into the sixth form and they came from all over the place, a small minority were private school but the majority where just clever girls who had gone to ordinary comprehensive schools, got good results against the odds and then wanted a decent A-level education to help them get into good courses at good universities. 30% of my year went on to study medicine and 30% (some cross over of course) went to Oxbridge.
