I'm going into my senior year in a few weeks, so...
11. 7th grade - This grade was horrible. 10. 8th grade - This was 100x better than 7th grade, which isn't saying much. 9. 6th grade - This was boring and empty. 8. 4th grade - Meaningless. 7. 1st grade - I don't really remember it but it was a lot more pleasant than the other grades 6. 11th grade - The first semester was great, but the second semester was just ok. 5. 3rd grade - It was fun and getting all A's was easy. 4. 9th grade - This was the beginning of a new chapter in my life. 3. 2nd grade - It was weeeee! 2. 5th grade - Such good memories <3 1. 10th grade - Amazing. Year.
1. 12th Grade - First steady girlfriend, HUGE group of friends, I was super popular, Straight A student for the first time in my life. 2. 4th Grade - Wow, this is way more work than I thought it would be. I give up.
I'm gonna steal Bio's format.
12 >>> 4 > 3 > 11 > 5 > 10 > 9 > 8 > 7 > 2 > 6

Freshman year (Effing college! Woooo!!! Insert 50 crazy stories here.) Junior Year (Steady job, single, steady trim, Bahamas, turning 21) Senior Year (Drugs! The year of experimenting.) 5th year (one extra year of college was a cherry on top) Sophomore year (Pretty blah being 20 and breaking up with long time girlfriend from high school, missed Halloween because I had to work...and I loved Halloween in college)
11th grade (came out of my shell, first time drinking, first kiss, yada yada) 12th grade (year before college, in the best shape of my life, had a steady gf) 5th grade (1st time being in public school, met my 2 best friends and got into as much trouble as 5th graders could) 10th grade (high school started to look up, quit band and joined swim team) 9th grade (I knew EVERYONE at the school because I had been to both middle schools that fed into the school) 2nd grade (had my first crush and still know her to this day, had a ring of buds) 1st grade (first time going to school and it was private, still everyone was nice) 8th grade (not too memorable but prom was fun, failed to get first kiss tho) 7th grade (Meh...hormones. LOTS of hormones. Treated my member like a bear treats salmon) 4th grade (home schooled, only classmate was my brother) 3rd grade (home schooled) 6th grade (Jesus this one sucked. Got suspended. Came back for a week and got expelled for "terrorism", lost all friends except one of my best friends, went to another middle school in the district)

People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.
What Dave said, though in college years were just kind of randomly better due to workload and who I was living with. No rhyme or reason really to the order
-- ~Wigs~ WELCO METOT HENEX TLEVEL I do what Ninten-Don't.
can't wait until college. but senior year did kick all kinds of ass. drug experimentation, first kiss, really steady close and growing group of friends, etc. this is when i got some confidence.
I switched to a private middle school after 6th grade and had a blast the rest of middle school. It was a really small place an hour away from home but I fit in way better there than at a public school at that point. i was a late bloomer socially.
4th and 5th grade I thought I was cool even though I cried a lot. 6th grade was when that illusion crashed down on my head.
junior year I started to become really close with my main group of five that i consider my best friends today, and had a lot of fun with the grade above us.
sophomore year was when i first met a majority of my closest friends, but i was still a lil' awkward socially. freshman year was worse because I only knew my best friend coming into high school - I was the only one at my middle school who went to my HS. I also played WoW a lot.
being a little kid kind of sucks. you get no freedom/responsibility! plus i was in the special class as a kindergartener - i was misdiagnosed autistic at an early age. that was annoying.
third grade i spent one year at a different elem. school and had trouble meeting new people.
sixth grade just sucked. it was so bad that i transferred middle schools. i was a huge baby then and public school is not good for that. i was the weird kid.
College > High School > Elementary School > Middle School I'd say, with grades in descending order (12th grade is the best, 11th second best, etc) from each group, cept college which is kinda just random per semester.
-- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
Remembering 3rd grade and earlier is hard, but I seem to remember being incredibly happy (3rd grade being a bit more mixed). I certainly had a lot more 'friends' than later years, whatever that means at that age.
The bottom 6 kinda blend together as I was a whiny antisocial douche with like two real friends for the entire time. Senior year gets split into semesters just because of how different they were - fall had a lot of stupid drama and spring was pretty much the best thing ever.
Throwing in college, I'd have to break it into semesters, in which case 3-1 > 2-1 > 3-2 > 1-1 > 1-2 >>> 2-2, and I'm not sure how they compare to grade school but sophomore spring is probably the only one that'd be below my senior spring. Terrible classes and a terrible living situation are not a good mix.

You could always behave like an adult and transfer if you don't like it.
We're not all trust fun babies like you. I had no choice. I loved the first two semesters. There were no refunds after the first two weeks. I had no choice but to go through with it.
High school was fun since I was a big fish in a small pond. I could have (and often did) get away with anything. I fumbled theball during my college years. I went to a commuter school and usually left right after class for work or home. Sure, it allowed me to save money and free up time, but I missed out on much of the college experience by never joining extra-curriculars or just hanging out around campus. Still, the people were cool and many of the classes were interesting. Elementary school is elementary school. Junior high was the only one I didn't enjoy overall. Kids are pretty bad at that age, and I didn't feel the school was any good either. Was more stressed in JH than in either HS or college.
I accidentally posted this in a Politics board topic about Ron Paul, lol.

College just got better every year (even if classes got tougher until my senior year). 12th was a great year and I had somewhat of a slacker schedule. 6th grade was just plain fun without all the jr high drama yet. Middle high school was fun. 8th grade had some very hilarious stuff happening throughout the year. Freshmen year was mediocre. 7th grade sucked.

college got better every year without fail, although it wasn't so hard considering freshman year was literally one of the worst years of my life not limited to just school. senior year of college is pretty much strutting around being a bauss 24/7 and not giving any ****s
elementary school I was like top 3 in smarts and that was when other kids actually respected you for it so I was one of the cool kids
middle school I was too shy because I relied too heavily on my unwarranted popularity from being smart, and I wasn't so smart anymore
high school I basically transformed from a complete and utter dweeb to someone who kinda fit in and found a way to enjoy chillaxing at school by not taking it so serious finally

If your senior year of high school wasn't your best grade school experience, you did it wrong.
May you take that lesson to your next life.
Explanation, please.
5 AP classes at the same time was an incredible strain, even if my 6th class was pure fluff just to counter some of that.
I found that 12th year of high school was pretty good, but I don't know what AP stuff is as I'm Canadian (unless other canadians had that and I just went to a crappy school?). 12 year had hard courses, but it was the first and only year we were allowed spares, and that made stuff manageable.
University was where there were lots of strain, my program happened to have 30 hours a week of class and I remember a lot of study group sessions eating up entire weekends... and then half my group dropped out cause they couldn't handle it =( Not looking forward to next year where I get that and a final project and have to apply to grad school/jobs.

AP = "Advanced Placement" classes. Basically college-level courses, which allow you to take a test at the end of the year to get some college credits prematurely.
All throughout school I was one of the two or three smartest people in my grade level, but that was my wall where I fell back down to earth. I could handle AP English and AP US History just fine, but AP Calculus, AP Chemistry and AP Physics wrecked me.
I really hit the wall in math. I never could wrap my head around calculus for that entire year and flunked out of it. Trigonometry was my absolute limit.
My mom basically forced me to take all that stuff. Hypothetically I could have just taken AP English and 5 fluff classes if I just wanted to skate to graduation.

Middle school was the only period that I actually showed up for in its entirety. Sixth grade wasn't so bad -- I was left forward on the district championship soccer team and I was introduced to one of my great joys, the JRPG.
After that it kind of fell apart. I have fond memories of more games (like getting into MGS!) and watching the final, breathtaking season of DS9 and stuff but I was basically Yusuke Urameshi at the start of YYH. I got into fights at school all the time. Mainly because my school is well-known for being a problem school and there was lots of rampant racism and whatnot. Many of my friends were smaller and weaker and often female to boot so I had to get involved in protecting them from the BS.
Nearly got expelled once but my grades sort of defended me. Straight A's all the time.

GTM posted... But I do find it weird that you enjoyed middle school without an explanation!
I may be overrating it since that was the only time I ever had friends who lived near enough to me to hang out with beyond school hours. Still though, I remember doing really well in middle school as far as handling all the workload.
I remember being really bored a lot in elementary school due to testing out of a lot of subjects, and high school was where things like science and math started to pass me by. Middle School was juuuust right. All my courses challenged me but they were all solvable.
Also high school started way too early for my liking. Getting picked up by the school bus every day at 6:30 AM sucked ass.
Your college experience sounds completely opposite from mine. I was on the five-year plan so I only had to take 12 credits most semesters, and I majored in English. I had tons of free time!
