Due to some administrative regulation of the municipal government, the junior high school has been separated from the senior high school and renamed "Ningbo Foreign Language School" since 1991. In 2004, as the new campus built for the junior high school (Foreign Language School) was completed, the classes from junior high school moved there. In face of continuous opposition from parents of junior high school students, the process of formal separation has been fraught with troubles and conflicts. The process ended successfully in 2006 with intervention from the municipal educational board.
Although currently the junior high school and senior high school are two distinct entities, they are often referred to as "Xiaoshi Middle School" because of the long history the two schools shared.
Despite years of disruption ever since its establishment, Xiaoshi Middle School has remained one of the best schools in Eastern China with high academic standards and dedication to the full development of students' potential. It is renowned for its excellent results in annual science and maths competition and especially highly respected as arguably the best school in Ningbo.
