Hi,
I'd like to ask if there's a word for a school where there are many school levels in one building or in one complex e.g. junior and high school together, or elementary school and junior high together? I need the term to not specify what the levels actually are. Could it be something like 'multi level school'?
Thanks in advance

"The school (building) houses the grades sixth through twelfth." Thanks

Thank you, that sounds good but I was thinking of a nominal phrase. I know that if a school houses both junior and senior high school than you just write Junior/Senior High School, but as I've mentioned before need it to not specify the levels. Is there a word/phrase for this?

I don't think there is a nominal phrase for that. The vast majority of schools in the US contain only one sector; elementary, middle, or high school not a combination of any of them. Obviously they do exist but I think they're rare enough that there isn't a word for that.

In some very sparely-populated rural areas in the US there are so few students and so little funding for schools that all the grades - kindergarten through 12th grade in high school - are literally accommodated in one, small, one-classroom building. Such a school is commonly know as a "one-room schoolhouse."
