As the first globe, a junior high school student should choose a model with a physical or zoogeographical map. She will visually introduce the child to basic geographical concepts:
rotation of the Earth around its axis,
names of continents and oceans,
surface depths and heights.
The main task of such a globe is to provide basic concepts and stimulate cognitive activity. Any inexpensive tabletop globe will do.
For middle and high school, it is better to buy a globe with a double map. In the 5th grade, children will need cartographic and hydrographic networks, current directions, main elevations and lowlands. In the 10th grade, they will study political geography and geopolitics: the borders of states, their capitals and major cities, communication routes, branches of the world economy, etc., and the political globe here is one of the most visual teaching aids.
