Assessment: Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school article. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of Start on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of Low on this importance scale. For information on improving this article, please visit the WikiProject Schools Project Page. My reasoning is as follows: Very biased and in need of a lot of cleanup. Lots of WP:POV material and no references despite some highly debatable claims. Pictures are too large. Adam McCormick 01:34, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

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] full of yourself

it would seem that the entire tone of this article is talking about how great fairveiw is. how great its band is, how great its athletics are, how great its acedemics are. the tone definately seems biased —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.97.202.211 (talk) 15:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

totally agree, feel free to edit it constructively to make it non-biased, however, so far, all of the edits from IP addresses close to yours have been clearly biased against the school.

[edit] Students

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

• Yes?
• No?

[edit] Question

Anybody know when the school was founded... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kangshifu (talk • contribs) 02:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

All that I know is that the school was originally in the Platte Middle School building prior to moving to the current building.--Kyle_(talk) 03:35, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
