My school is PK-12, but our middle school campus is grades 4-8. We
have a Lower House of grades 4-5 and an Upper House of grades 6-8.
We actually change the model gradually over 4 years to move the
children from a self-contained classroom in 4th to a departmentalized
schedule by 7th grade. I'm grossly simplifying, but it's a structure
that has worked for a long time--at least the 18 I've been there.
You can email me offline if you want to know more.
