[edit] Incorrect Ranking

I say this with the greatest respect, having graduated this year and contributed to the number of merit list mentions, but shouldn't we be listing % of exams that scored the highest band, rather than the number of exams sat which achieved this. If we continue with the current system we are painting a false picture of the true ranking of the school, to understand why consider that a school with 1000 students each sitting 5 exams could score 1000 merit list mentions placing it 1st in the state, even though the actual percentage of exams sat which received a DA was only 20%. In contrast a school with 100 students each sitting 5 exams could score 500 merit list mentions, which would place it 5th or 6th in the state even though 100% of the exams its students sat scored in the highest band, a feat Baulko and even Ruse could only ever hope to achieve.

From what I can recall both the Telegraph and the Herald use the percentage system, which means that continuing with the number system could constitute original research. Regardless, the switch must be made because it inaccurately portrays the school as performing better than it does, sadly this means that this year's year will have to be listed as coming 4th in the state, rather than 3rd, but hopefully the change will come to benefit us in the future. 58.170.18.245 (talk) 23:52, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BHHS LOGO.gif

Image:BHHS LOGO.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
