Middle school
Due to population growth, the Nazareth Area School District constructed a new middle school for grades seven and eight with approximately 800 students. The project included a new $7 million swimming pool. The new building is located on Friedenstahl Avenue in Upper Nazareth Township adjacent to the high school campus. The school was completed in 2009 in time for the 2009-2010 school year. It cost an estimated total of $57 million.[3]
With the opening of the new middle school in 2009, the Nazareth area underwent a district-wide grade reconfiguration. Kindergarten through third grade students remained in the elementary schools. Fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students were placed in a new intermediate level school, Nazareth Area Intermediate School, utilizing the former middle school building at 355 Tatamy Road. Seventh and eighth grade students now attend the new middle school. Students at Nazareth Area High School, which serves ninth through 12th grade students, were not impacted by the changes.
