При описании образования high school совершенно достаточно - откуда же ему взяться без elem. and secondary. Тут все понятно, но для определения именно типа школы это было бы просто ошибочно.

what about senior high school?

secondary general education school

I'd go with this slightly more formal wording

A senior high school (grades 10 - 12) is what is generally meant by a secondary school. I'm not sure that middle schools fall in this category

comprehensive school

http://www.school124.ru/
Средняя общеобразовательная школа по-русски - это десятилетка. С 1 по 10 классы. С 1 по 8 - это неполное среднее образование.

То, что в нее входили начальные классы, elementary, это неважно. Они так и называются - начальные классы средней школы. Почему она при этом средняя - это одному Богу известно:-). Видимо, между детсадом и вузом....

This British term, thoroughly forgotten now, was widely accepted in the USSR. My school was translated as Special English Comprehensive School. Wikipedia talks about ages 11 to 16, but our school included elementary part as well.
