• Strong keep as a Blue Ribbon School, the highest award that an American school can achieve and FWIW also meets the proposed guideline WP:SCHOOL. TerriersFan (talk) 22:50, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

If you can substantiate that status, please do. I will withdraw the AfD nomination if reliable third-party sources citing the awards are supplied. --Dachannien^Talk_Contrib 22:54, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

OK; this will be reliably sourced within the hour :-) TerriersFan (talk) 22:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

The offical source is here. There are plenty of sources on other issues, including a controversy over the use of the school's former site, but they are mostly behind paywalls so I'll have a look later to see what I can obtain in an affordable manner :-) TerriersFan (talk) 23:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

• Strong keep per blue ribbon school references. Easy pass for WP:N.--Sting Buzz Me... 23:30, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Keep While most middle schools will have great difficulty establishing notability, the blue ribbon recognition, supported by reliable and verifiable sources, established notability for this school. Alansohn (talk) 23:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
• Regular keep per the changes made to the article, I believe the current sources confer notability and satisfy WP:N guidelines. coccyx bloccyx_(toccyx) 16:09, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
