Junior High School

Secondary school in the Philippines, more commonly known as "high school", consists of 4 lower levels and 2 upper levels. 

It formerly consisted of only four levels with each level partially compartmentalized, focusing on a particular theme or content. Because of the K-12 curriculum, the high school system now has six years divided into 2 parts.

The National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE) is now being administered for Grade 9 and the National Achievement Test (NAT) is being administered at Grade 6, 10, and 12.
