Transition From Middle School To High School

234 Words1 Page

Stress can make smart people do stupid things- it hinders an important part of the brain that influences your decision-making. So its no surprise that upperclassmen tend to look down upon freshmen, whose minds are not for, but against them. Separating the freshman class from the high school community can help put less stress on the minds of the students and ease the transition from middle school life to high school life. The transition from middle school to high school can be challenging. High school is a unfamiliar environment with different and new people. Change creates stress, and by detaching the 9th graders from the normal high school community, the freshmen can be eased into high school. This will prepare them for the next 3 years

    I hope that the assumption that the middle schools of Blount County are under-performing is not being made based solely on a comparison with the high schools ' performance and the elementary school 's performance. That would be an unfair and inaccurate assumption if that were the case. The loss of achievement associated with school-to-school transitions from elementary school to middle school and middle school to high school is a well documented occurrence. Studies (Alspaugh,1998 & Rosenblatt, 2008) have found a statistically significant achievement loss associated with the transition from elementary school to middle school at the 6th grade as compared with K-8 schools that did not have a school-to-school transition at 6th grade.

  • Essay On Transition From Primary To Secondary School

    219 Words  | 1 Pages

    adhiolescent development involves a complex interplay between genetics, biol- ogy, and social and emotional relationships within multiple contexts of home, school and the broader community. The transition from primary to secondary school, coupled with the onset of puberty, can therefore be a difficult period for young people to negotiate at a critical period of their developmental pathway. Using a social ecological perspective, this article examines the impact of the transition experience on adolescent social and emotional health, both immedi- ately following transition to secondary school and at the end of the first year in this new school environment. This 1-year prospective study involving 1,500 Australian Grade 8 secondary school students found that 31% of students in the sample experienced a ‘difficult’ or ‘somewhat difficult’ transition to their new school. This third of the student sample were consequently more likely to experience poorer social and emotional health, including higher levels of de- pression and anxiety at the end of their first year of secondary school, while controlling for these variables at the time of transition.
