We have similar in Poland.
5 or 6 = Pre-School.
6-12 = Primary School.
12-15 = Middle School.
15-18 = High School.
18+ = College and further.
This is basically what we have in the U.S, we just call Primary School Elementary School.
Just to clarify, for the average child in the U.S.:
3-4 = Preschool (optional)
5-12 = Elementary School (Primary School)
12-15 = Middle School (Secondary School)
15-18 = High School (Postsecondary School)
18+ = College/other
College/University system in U.S.:
2 years: Associate's Degree
4 years: Bachelor's Degree
5 years: Master's Degree
6-8 years: Doctorate Degree
Edit- On Topic: Try to understand why they feel this way about you. It can be either their fault, your fault, or a little of both. They could just be complete jerks, but are you acting arrogant? That could be setting them off. It could also be new-kiditis that ye be suffering from. Point is, if you know the reason for these complications, you can deal with them better.
Until then, dodge or learn jujitsu. I remember once in middle school while the teacher was away in lalaland, this one kid notorious for being a drunk came up to me and suggested that I stole something of his that I did not have. Being unable to produce it for him, he attempted to punch me as hard as he could. I dodged slightly to the right, he slammed his fist on the metal part of my desk, the class laughed at him and cheered me, and the teacher woke up from lalaland. Problem solved.
If a punch (it will most likely be a punch) is thrown at you that you cannot dodge, or if you wish to attack him rather than just defend and dodge, the key is to use his power against him. Grab his fist, and attempt to keep his momentum going until you can throw him to the ground. Alternatively you can counterattack by grabbing his fist, hitting him in the eyes, and then doing whatever you wish- may I suggest a strike to the balls?
Ultimately, try to avoid the fight and gather a crew of friends. Eventually spread out and try to befriend members of "cliques" that you normally would not hang around. You can do this by finding things that you have in common- such as gaming, or hating the school system. Such an alliance makes school before College bearable.
