Do some Junior High school and Middle Schools start later than the Elementary/High Schools?

I heard that some Middle schools start around 9:30am and High school around 7:30 with Elementary around 8:00. My Junior High starts at 7:25. Do some middle schools start at 9 or later?

1. It's my experience that elementary schools start a bit earlier-- at 8:00, while the middle and high schools start at the same time-- 8:30. There are specialized times for certain things though. Like at my high school I'm in an AP program that lets me take 6 classes a day as opposed to the normal for us, which is 4. But this requires me to be there at 7:30. There's a local early college high school that doesn't start until 9:30 or so, but that's not a full-on public school. I suppose that a middle school beginning at 9:00 isn't impossible, there just isn't one like that here.
