This doesnt seem to have a NPOV at all, I doubt calling Bellevue High School a 'bunch of cheating sons of bitches' is up to wikipedia's standards either.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.252.102 (talk • contribs) 02:13, August 15, 2006

[edit] School Policies, Extracurricular achievements,and recent events

There doesn't seem to be any coverage of the School curricular policies, or of recent events that have occurred.

There needs to be some mention of the Schools "flaunted" IB program (I can't be trusted to do it neutrally), as well as mention that there have been 3 new principles in as many years. Perhaps the Ed Young "scandal", or the "nice" new principle coming in for 07-08?

And where is mention of the awards the various extracurricular clubs have achieved?

  • I'll add the section about Ed Young because it's relevant to the school's history, as well as the district and surrounding area. I would add sections about the International Baccalaureate program (I assume that's what you meant), but I know absolutely nothing about the school's participation in it. If you could elaborate on that on the talk page (or just edit the article and other editors will compare for NPOV), that would help a lot. I also don't know about the awards they've recieved and we'd need to have a third party source to cite in the article. I appreciate your input and your help on expanding this article.

  • The section about Young has been added with references, so I've changed the tag at the top of the article. If it can be expanded, please do that. If references can be added to the sections about Athletics, Academics and DECA, I will remove the notice completely. Cumulus Clouds 01:46, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Athletics

This article is a disaster, with the athletic stats removed and all other unsourced statements taken out, the page is about one sentence long. Up to date athletics stats are not necessary and will be removed, a general outline of the school's athletics program, including the various sports and leagues they participate in, is all that is necessary for an encyclopedia. Leave the sports reporting to the newspapers. Cumulus Clouds 03:30, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Skyline has never won a baseball state championship. They have been runner up twice, but never won.
