• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete No assertation of notability. ffm 16:23, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Notable alumnus makes for notable school. But there needs to be a source for the claim of the notable alumnus. Corvus cornix 17:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with Natomas, Sacramento, California, or else keep. — RJH (talk) 20:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge per RJHall. – Zedla 21:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep Nothing wrong with having stubs. Experience shows that if enough work is done of any high school article, the school turns out to be notable. DGG (talk) 22:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Natomas, Sacramento, California. If it had better references I might be inclined to support the keep view. Burntsauce 00:03, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep (and also expand) per Corvus cornix but this (notability due to significant alumnis only applies for High Schools and at the limit (or a few cases) Middle schools. Worst case, merge to the school district/board.--JForget 00:04, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Booooo precedent. Not every school in existence is notable. This is no exception. i ^said 00:33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - High schools are generally notable and there's no reason to make this one an exception to most outcomes. It has over 3000 students and located in major Sacramento area. Stubs are much better than no article at all and they likely will grow. --Oakshade 04:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep article makes claim of notability, but needs additional sources. Based on precedent for high school articles, this article should be kept and expanded. Alansohn 04:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. —Noroton 17:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as this results page for Google News archives shows, the Sacramento Bee has given the school significant coverage far, far beyond Wikipedia notability standards. Too bad all the articles cost money to retreive. Unlike verifiability standards, WP:N does not require that information from multiple, independent, reliable sources actually have to be added to the article, but that it is demonstrable that they exist. The assumption that all high schools are inherently notable (because these sources always exist) is shown again here. Noroton 18:17, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I found I was able to get information from the exerpts that the Sacramento Bee provides for its on-sale articles, so I added info from about seven of them to the article. It now meets all Wikipedia notability requirements. Not a great article, but it passes. Noroton 19:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
