[edit] disambig

What should be the format for disambiguation when there are schools with the same name? Most use either Garfield High School (New Jersey) or Highland Park High School, New Jersey, to give an example, although it can vary using either state name, city name, or both. I think the latter example should be preferred. --Chroniclev 07:24, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

This answer is probably to late, but we had a vote, and it was decided to use parenthesis. See Wikipedia:Schools#Article name. So, Garfield High School (New Jersey) is correct, and Highland Park High School, New Jersey should be moved to Highland Park High School (New Jersey). --Rob 22:01, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I've been puting them in the format of Name High School (Town, State) if there is more than one by the same name in the same state. Is that correct?--Rayc 21:14, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable alumni

I added a link to Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/alumni, as I hope more people will factor in such information, when picking which school to create an article. It's definately not a sole criterion for making a selection, but I feel the presence of notable alumni makes for a better school article (all other things being equal), than just picking a school at random from a redlink list, or just doing them in order they're listed.

Also, unrelated, I removed the Jimbo quote. I just don't see its relevance/usefullness here. --Rob 04:59, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] split pages

Is it possible to split the page for places like Texas and California (1427 and 1386, respectively) since it is much too big to go and scroll through the edits, find the one school, and fix the link. That said, how would it be split? (City Name, School Name, Region...)

[edit] typo

The article The North Broward Preparatory School in Florida should be plural: The North Broward Preparatory Schools. See NBPS official page CClio333 23:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

The article Glades Central High School in Florida should be Glades Central Community High School. See GCCHS offical page. CClio333 23:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Demographics, etc

How do we find all the demographical information these articles have? --Chris Griswold(☏) 12:51, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
