Schools Assessment[edit]

Main priority is gathering more references to defend claims. That will get you a "B". Alumni list is impressive and newsweek ref v. good. Photo gallery? Victuallers 18:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bias[edit]

"Students at this high school are held to a very high standard, being that the atmosphere in which they are held in is very competitive, challenging, and the students are expected to exceedingly excel academically over the other public high schools in the state of California."

I feel like this is a very general statement... I'm sure most high schools hold their students to a "high standard." Perhaps replace this with facts that would indicate/show this vs. this statement? I would suggest omitting. opinions? Assembled (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:34, 26 August 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Controversy[edit]

I added a {{Citation needed}} to the sentence, "Some residents of Arcadia, who are former students at the school and have Native American ancestry, do not take offense to the school's use of these symbols." As a Native, former resident of Arcadia, and graduate of Arcadia High School, I took and still take offense to the use of the mascot. While the sentence may not necessarily be false, I very much doubt the veracity of the statement since I have never heard from any other Natives that lived in Arcadia whom agreed with the use of the mascot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.69.132.189 (talk) 23:33, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake in a source talking about the school[edit]

The author Eric Michael Bryant wrote in Not Like Me: A Field Guide for Influencing a Diverse World (2010) that the show Joan of Arcadia of misrepresents Arcadia, California by not including Asian characters that reflect the ethnic mix in Arcadia.

Bryant, Eric Michael. Not Like Me: A Field Guide for Influencing a Diverse World. Harper Collins, 2010. ISBN 0310329965, 9780310329961. p. 132.
  • "Joan of Arcadia, which took place in Arcadia High School, included[...]However Joan of Arcadia was strikingly devoid of Asian characters. The Arcadia High School I know in the LA area is in a predominately Asian area, and about two-thirds of the students are Asian."

However the show Joan of Arcadia is set in the fictional Arcadia, Maryland. This is confirmed in this source:
