How was my school organized?

As I think back to my schooling days I think that I was kind of  'all over' as far as organization is concerned.
I went to several schools throughout my K - 12 years.

In Kindergarten - 4th grade I went to Kennedy Elementary school in St. Joseph, Minnesota.  I think that this would be unheard of now a days; for a child to go to a school that is only K-4; however, that is the highest grade that was offered at my elementary school in the late night 1980-early 1990s (I think it was the same at some of the other schools in the 742 district, I'm not quite sure, however).  Then, in 5th grade I went to Discovery School in St. Cloud, Minnesota which had a 5th and 6th grade.

Then, at the end of my 5th grade year my parents moved to Cold Spring, Minnesota and in 6th grade I attended St. Boniface Elementary School in Cold Spring, Minnesota which was a K - 6 school. Then, in 7th and 8th grade I went to Rocori Middle School which was also in Cold Spring, Minnesota.

In 9 - 12 I went to St. John's Prep School in Collegeville, Minnesota. 

As you can see, I was all over with my schooling. I think if I was in grade school today I would be going to school that had K - 6 in the same school and 7 and 8 in another and then 9 - 12.  I think having to jump around from school to school made it difficult for me to make any consistent friends (I also think moving didn't help much, either.. but, that's another story).  

As for how the actual school itself was organized.. I don't quite remember since it was so long ago.. But, I think that how my education was back then was much different than it is now. I do know that my education was probably much different going to a private high school vs. someone who was going to a public school - there were higher expectations and harder classes since the high school I went to was preparing us for college and at a private school they have their own agenda which is followed. 

My schooling was also a "normal" school year September - June up through 8th grade and then in 9th grade school started in late August and ended in late May.

Overall, I think I enjoyed my school years and I don't think I would have changed anything. As I stated, I think things have changed since I was in grade school - I do know what is being taught now is much more different than what I learned - especially  in regards to Math.  However, a lot can change in 15 - 20 years.
