Here in FL, we have an almost transfer like system. Students can attend any high school they want, with a few caveats.In our county, MS runs the same time as HS ball and games are only on Sundays. Each MS if they can usually has 3 teams and would be rated as A B and C. "A" team would play in the top tier, B second and C last. The tiers were based on how you thought you would do so in theory you have your 8th grade teams as top tier, 7th and then 6th. But the teams were set by the coaches so if you were a good 6th grader you could still play on the A team. Or if you were not as good if you were an 8th grader you might play on the C team.
If you plan to play in HS, it's a good opportunity to see who your teammates would be and who you'll be playing against as you move up. And at least our program played on the HS fields so that was fun for the girls.
But we do have some players on HS that didn't play MS so it doesn't necessarily matter.
The past couple of years we've actually had the MS program work alongside our HS program with the coaches so they are getting exposure that way. Not sure how other schools do it but we've been trying to really get more involved with Rec, then MS and up to HS.
The new school must have room, parents must provide transportation and the student must not be under an expulsion or suspension order.
