[edit] Racial data

I don't know anything about the school but there seems to be an error regarding the racial enrollment data. According to the table there are 59.5 hispanic students. I'd like to see the .5 person; is he or she missing a torso or legs? Only averages can consist have .something figures. The total number of people in any given group is always stated in full round numbers. For example, the average family may have 2.7 poeple, but no single family acutally has 2.7 people.

In fact at Redwood we do have .5 of a Mexican.

Then you should have .5 of some other race too. will381796 01:46, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I asked the .5 Mexican what other part he was it is Black. I will update the chart.

  • Because it is absurd to have listed in the race breakdown less than a full person under a race, and also because the information cited was out of date by a couple of years, I removed the column that breaks it down by number of students and updated the percentages with the current percentages. I also updated the total student population with the most recent number...if people want to do the math to find out approximately how many students are in each race, they can do the simple math. will381796 18:50, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why did the chicken...

I replaced the news about two pranks that had recently been removed by a school official. The chicken story is sourced to the IJ and seems like it should stay, although it could be shortened. The golf ball story does not show up in Goodle and needs a newspaper source or it won't tick. If somebody did a good job of adding real history about the school, they could shorten the chicken story so it wouldn't overbalance the section. If anybody from the Bark is reading this, how about a few pictures?--Hjal 06:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable alumni

Regarding Ben Hecht (who was a famous newspaperman, novelist, and screenwriter, see Ben Hecht), what is a "baller"? There must be a better description of this Ben Hecht's notability than that. He rolls up string, he's a bit of a Casanova, what? As for Matt Noble, he appears to be English and played for a high school called Orange High, but where?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.125.114.74 (talk) 20:10, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
