I guess one theory I might have is that, at that age, you're just old enough to really do things on your own. Therefore, the friends you make may be the first friends you really bond with doing "your own thing". Also, maybe you end up with these folks for half a dozen years through high school, whereas your elementary friends may end up going to different schools or moving or something.

Quite fascinating.
I would say that that is a very defining time for us. We're growing up and becoming our own persons... I think that's the biggest reason. Until then, everyone's friends generally. It's in junior high that jocks start to become jocks, music geeks start to become music geeks, etc.
