Talk:Fairview High School (Boulder)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So there's another building built around hexagons... 68.39.174.238 06:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

"...but is only one of two in the nation which allows students to choose for themselves whether or not they want to participate in the program."
Is this really accurate? I know for a fact that Poudre High School also allows students to choose to participate, i believe it is highly unlikely that there are only two schools that offer this program. --Variable Z 00:10, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree that this is probably false. My school (Niwot High School) also allows students to decided whether or not they want to attempt the IB diploma. Perhaps the author meant that the students have a choice of only attempting to get the certificates without a diploma. I'm removing that sentence from the article. --Hell0DotCom 22:48, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

"...including two years of preparatory, or PIB (pre-IB) classes, are needed to receive the full diploma."
This also may be false. As far as I know, pre-IB is not one of IBO's requirements for attaining the diploma. I believe pre-IB is merely a two year curriculum of honors classes that many high schools offer independent of IBO. The IB Diploma Programme article seems to confirm this. I will fix this. --Hell0DotCom 22:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ... Um... odd.

Why is there a picture of the view from the school, but no actual picture of the school?

Because the building itself is nothing more than a grey concrete nearly windowless bunker clinging to a long sloping hill. Dull.

[edit] Students

Lots of famous students are mentioned... should we list them in a bulleted list?

• Yes?
• No?

[edit] Hmmm

"Though there is a large loser to student ratio, many 8th. graders prefer it over its rival, BHS." Unless someone has a really really really really good source.... that looks like vandalism
