[edit] Thanks for response

Everything has happened so fast up till now, I expected the copyright thing to be cleared up in a hurry. I've even sent a notice to staff on our school email, since it seemed to be going so well. I thought the copyright thing was handled yesterday, when the first notice was up.DavidPickett

[edit] Infobox placement

Almost every article on wikipedia that has an infox has it as the first item on the page. Consistency is one of the key benefits of the infobox. Is there a specific reason that this page should be different? Arthurrh (talk) 23:07, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

I am assessing this article as B / Mid. Most elementary schools are not notable but this article shows quite an exception to this. This is quite a good article and could even meet the Good article criteria with work. My first thoughts when seeing the article were - external links, there are a lot of them, too many. The article should contain a few external links in the external links section, usually the official site and a few other important relevant ones. All other links should be part of in-line citations using <ref></ref> tags, external links within the text should be kept to a minimum, and individual news articles should really only be in in-line citations unless they have particular importance to the article. See Wikipedia:External links for further guidance. The section set-up can also be improved, try and not repeat the article title in section tiles, and if possible create sub-sections to seperate large amounts of text. The introduction is rather short for an article this size, consider expanding it, use Wikipedia:Lead section for guidance. Finally, try and consider moving the logo into the info-box, where it generally should be for school articles. I am giving this article mid importance for the schools quite notable visual and performing arts program, history, and awards. Camaron | Chris (talk) 20:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
