Assessment[edit]

I am assessing this article for the Schools Wikiproject as Start and Low. The article has nearly all of the parts of a great article, but contains a great deal of unencyclopedic information that really should be trimmed out of the article. None of the alumni listed meet the notability threshold to be included in this article. The academic data is now a year out of date, and needs to be updated. As a plus, the editor(s) working on this article have been careful to begin a tradition of referencing. The history section should be rewritten in a more prosaic style, and should hopefully be referenced by a third party source vs. what appears to be a school newspaper. I am assessing the importance of this article as "low" because there is no assertion of this school having national prominence. LonelyBeacon (talk) 05:06, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
