Delete. I don't see how the information contained within this article can be useful to anyone. Seems like boring statistics to me. Aucaman 09:51, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the reasons expressed at Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. This school has really piqued my interest. Silensor 08:41, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Follow the WP:SCH proposal, as we should for all schools. In this case, that means merge with the school's district article, since this does not meet the lower bar of three complete sentences, verifiable from sources not published by the school, and excluding phone-book type data like the school's address. — Haeleth Talk 14:10, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Whether on its own or merged into an article, those data holds no value. Nothing more than directory data. I will not salvage or help this article. I consider it a waste of time to even let it in WP. I am aware about the running debate around notability and schools. Unfortunately, no outcome yet. So I still see from time to time those immensly idiot (sorry it's very POV) schools article. And seldom I afd one of them. Gtabary 14:19, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge into school district or town if article is both below three sentances and lacks any sort of illustration, boxed info-template or picture when AFD is closed. This school, like all others, is an important public institution and should be written about somewhere, even if it cannot sustain an article on it's own. Presently people do create school articles containing neutral, verifiable information and it is impossible to delete them, even though many have a desire to do so. Rather than striving for an impossible consensus to delete any given school article, I feel it is always preferable and takes much less energy to merge the text of the article into an article about a suitable habitation or administrative unit: a city, county or state, or a school district of local education authority of other school system, while taking care not to delete the information contained in the article. If the article is merged, the current location should be replaced by a redirect, and the edit history maintained for future use. This is the baseline consensus that I feel was reached at WP:SCH.

Keep. All schools are notable enough for a truly great encyclopaedia. —RaD Man (talk) 20:56, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
