text: Unofficially , school names are abbreviated in one of two ways : generally the school is dropped from the full name ( Stirling High School - ) Stirling High , Wallace High School - ) Wallace High ) but where the school name consists of two words , high school may be dropped in its entirety ( St. Modan 's High School - ) St. Modan 's ) . Other high schools drop the `` high school '' entirely , and replace it with `` academy '' ( Prestwick Academy was formerly called `` Prestwick High School '' ) .
simplified: Most people go to high school right after middle school .
