http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_school#Portugal
In Portugal, the middle school is known as 2nd and 3rd cycles of basic education (2º e 3º ciclos do ensino básico). It comprises the 5th till 9th year of compulsory education, for children between ten and fifteen years old. After the education reform of 1986, the former preparatory school (escola preparatória) or liceu, became part of basic education (educação básica).
Basic education now includes:
1st cycle (1º ciclo) - former primary education
1st year (6–7 years old)
2nd year (7–8 years old)
3rd year (8–9 years old)
4th year (9–10 years old)
2nd cycle (2º ciclo) - former preparatory education
5th year (10–11 years old)
