Assessment: Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school article. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of Start on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of Low on this importance scale. For information on improving this article, please visit the WikiProject Schools Project Page. My reasoning is as follows: Not much here, needs significant expansion.

Nothing on the page suggests this school is notable. Edward 00:56, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• Delete. Not notable. Wikipedia is not a school database. --Randy 01:25, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete for utter lack of context. I'm aware of two Norwalks (California and Connecticut) and this doesn't even say which one the school is in! - Lucky 6.9 03:08, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: Again, we have to do the research to see if it exists, then where it is, and then if this information is correct, and then we're still left with a fact, rather than a discussion. If this is in CA or CT, a set of facts could go in a big list or a big table. As I've said repeatedly, I won't complain about that. Geogre 04:27, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Teacher

There is a clip on iFilm right now about, entitled "bad teacher" where he's (I've seen him but forget his name) mocking a student. I'm not sure that I'd call it relevant for the article, though. See the Advocate article.

[edit] Buildings

I suspect Norwalk High School occupied a building on West Avenue from its founding in 1902 until the mide 1930s when the building (pictured) at 125 East Avenue was ready for classes (could someone find a reference for this?). As already noted in this article classes at the current building were held starting in 1971. Someone from the Norwalk Museum (in South Norwalk) told me that that building was used as the Town Hall until the 1980s. In other words the use of 125 East Avenue as the City Hall dates from the mid 1980s. Hence there were three separate buildings used by Norwalk High School (here too a published reference would be helpful). It might also be worthwhile to discuss what educational facilities existed prior to 1902. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 11:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
