neutral  Emilio Schulder: En Chile, Bachillerato ha cambiado de significado. Ahora corresponde a una carrera universitaria de 2 años de duración, acercándose al modelo del "Bachelor's Degree" en USA. Saludos.

agree  Joseph Tein: I think this is the best translation, given the differences between the US school system and other countries.

neutral  Henry Hinds: El concepto de "middle school" (más o menos 10 a 13 años) no corresponde a "primaria" en ningún país, cuando mucho podría corresponder a las etapas posteriores de un ciclo de educación básica. Los niños entran a primaria a la edad de 6 años más o menos.

Explanation:
Every country has its own nomenclature. Here in Mexico these are the relative equivalents. Remember that "middle school" is generally from 6th to 8th grade, and high school is from 9th to 12th. I believe this is still the most common break-down in the US. Your choice will have to reflect a preference towards the nomenclature of your target audience. Suerte!

Escuela primaria / EGB / Escuela secundaria
Explicación:
Mira en Argentina, la escuela se divide en la manera indicada arriba.
Te adjunto dos link: el primero es de una escuela modelo, el otro donde puedes encontrar todas las escuelas.
En primer momento en Argentina, eran 7 años de escuela primaria (del 1º al 7º grado) y 5 de escuela secundaria (de 1º a 5º año), luego en algunas provincias se modificaron por: 6 años de escuela primaria, 7º 8º y 9º de EGB y 3 de escuela secundaria especializada.
Pero en general, es: La escuela secundaria dividida en 3 años de ciclo básico y 2 o 3 años de ciclo superior.
Espero no haberte confundido más y como te dije esto se usa en Argentina, todo depende de donde sea el país a traducir.
Suerte
