Comment: Although a couple of new sources have been added since the last submission six months ago, these still don't go much beyond confirming that the school exists. For GNG I am looking for a major press report showing that the school has been in the public attention for something more than just being another school. Otherwise we would have to accept articles on every school in the world, and our guidelines specifically do not want that. All the extra stuff about school colours is good for fleshing it out, but notability is likely to be attached to outstanding achievement, some unique or unusual feature, or something that happened there - anything that would attract national newspaper coverage.

- Comment: MaxPreps.com and ahsfhs.com are not reliable secondary sources and do not speak to notability at all. The author of this draft is far from new, and without prompting, should be completely formatting the References. Page numbers and or quotes are needed for all books referenced. Any magazine articles cited should be formatted as being from the magazine, not Google. Spell check it. Grammar check it. Wikify it. Put it in sections like the style guide for this kind of article specifies. And do not submit it for review before doing that! 174.212.236.66 (talk) 17:45, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: WP:NSCHOOL says that an article on a school must satisfy either WP:GNG or WP:ORG. This draft doesn't seem to be near satisfying either of the two. Hoary (talk) 08:38, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
