The Intermediate School Experience
At Maize USD 266, fifth grade marks the beginning of an exciting chapter as students become Eagles or Mavericks in one of our two intermediate schools. These schools are designed to support the transition from elementary to middle school, providing a strong foundation for growth and success. Students attend the school designated by their home address and continue in their Eagle or Maverick feeder pattern through middle school and on to high school.
Students also get to explore a range of electives, from band to introductory engineering courses that begin to build career-oriented skills. These options allow them to dive into areas of personal interest, helping them discover more about themselves and the world around them. Leadership clubs, music theater, robotics, and more provide avenues for students to connect, learn, and lead.
