Quick answer: Sort of.

Slightly longer answer: Most scholars do not use the term "Dark Ages." This term usually refers to the period from the end of antiquity up until approximately the year 1000 C.E. Most scholars refer to this period as the Early Middle Ages. The is followed by the "High Middle Ages", 1000-1300, and the "Late Middle Ages" from 1300-1500.
