Main Street Intermediate School (Grades 5 To 6)
This school once was the high school, but became the intermediate school when the new high school was finished being built. It is located on East Main St. Main Street School serves all 5th and 6th grade students attending the Norwalk City Schools (about 250 per grade). The school is intended to be suited specifically to the academic and developmental needs of ten, eleven, and twelve-year-olds, and to serve as a transition from the elementary schools to the middle school - as well as from childhood to the brink of adolescence.

Famous quotes containing the words main, street, intermediate and/or school:
“Many women are reluctant to allow men to enter their domain. They don’t want men to acquire skills in what has traditionally been their area of competence and one of their main sources of self-esteem. So while they complain about the male’s unwillingness to share in domestic duties, they continually push the male out when he moves too confidently into what has previously been their exclusive world.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
“Outside America I should hardly be believed if I told how simply, in my experience, Dover Street merged into the Back Bay.”
—Mary Antin (1881–1949)
“Complete courage and absolute cowardice are extremes that very few men fall into. The vast middle space contains all the intermediate kinds and degrees of courage; and these differ as much from one another as men’s faces or their humors do.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.”
