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 a lot about the school here, mostly a few sporting events and policies. Not at all of global interest and completely unreferenced. Adam McCormick 06:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More Specific Advice

• There are far too many irrelevant wikilinks on the page (You don't need to link "$", "Student", or "librarian"). The biography on my user page is great example of what not to do.
• There are really only three references here and they're not particularly useful (The schools is, by the nature of the beast, biased).
• Single sentence paragraphs need to be expanded or collapsed into larger sections
• There is a lot of information here that No One outside of the school community cares about.
  • Most of, if not all of the activities section should be removed (Possibly just keep the text sections under athletics and cocurricular headings)
  • The last play of the last game two years ago is not of global interest
  • Cell phone policy could be summed up in a sentence and is not essential to the school
• Pictures make a good addition to any article
• Much of the information (Like faculty/coaches) could be condensed into tables rather than trailers on the ends of sentences
• More information needs to be added about the school, not just the student activities
  • How was the school founded (etc..)

I can point out where references are needed if that will help. Let me know if you need more to work on. Adam McCormick 02:58, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
