"juniors" means: The section of a primary school for the education of older children, typically the years (grades) three to six.. This is a fairly neutral word with no inherent risk attached. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than something dangerous. If your child uses it, context will usually make the meaning clear. A brief, curious question about where they heard it is generally enough to know whether to follow up.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

A British English term for a primary school that caters to children roughly between the ages of seven and eleven — typically years three through six in the English school system. Junior school follows infant school and precedes secondary school, occupying the middle stretch of compulsory early education. While not slang in the traditional sense, it's a firmly regional term that confuses people used to American grade-school terminology and remains the everyday word British parents, teachers, and kids actually use.
A school providing primary education to children.
(UK, Australia) The section of a primary school for the education of younger children, typically the classes of reception or kindergarten and years (grades) one and two.

"juniors" means: The section of a primary school for the education of older children, typically the years (grades) three to six.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. Note the regional or dialect label (UK) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

“it's pretty obvious that judd apatow was a geek because the way they portrayed the freaks was not how the freaks behaved in 1980- are we really supposed to believe that those high school juniors in detroit who love music had never heard much punk until then?!”
“Marthaler just got done playing two seasons for the USA Hockey NTDP. He is one of those who could be impacted by NCAA's five-in-five eligibility proposal if it passes, but he would still get four years at UMD going to juniors in 2026-27.”
