• Keep. Seems like a good stub to me. It's an independent, nonsectarian, coed day school, you know. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:33, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article. Individual schools are not inherently encyclopedic and there is nothing to distinguish insignificant schools like this one from thousands of nearly identical schools around the world.

• Delete, nn. Radiant_* 14:35, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I can verify a lot of things that still aren't notable. Like how much change is in my pocket right now, for instance. --InShaneee 14:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

  Wouldn't change in your pocket be notable if you ever wanted to buy something later? Don't give up on school articles please, there is potential for a lot of important information to fill these pages. --Howrealisreal 15:46, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

  No you can't. Reread Wikipedia:Verifiability for what the word means here - David Gerard 22:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 22:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep All schools are notable by nature. Verifiable and NPOV. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, ergo it is encyclopaedic. User:GRider/Schoolwatch Klonimus 13:24, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. (1)We don't even have a policy about schools yet, (2)schools are important and should be included, (3)this massive deletion campaign is terrible. Introduce a limit of 3 vfd nominations per day. --Zantastik 22:32, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
