Usage notes
- Use media for numerical averages. For a middle school grade average, media is standard; avoid confusing it with mezzo or mediano.
- In school contexts, say avere la media del 27 or una media alta. Italian often uses the article: la media.
- Media is singular here: la media è alta. Don’t confuse it with i media, the plural noun meaning mass media.
