Talk:Warren Central High School (Indiana)

Untitled
Regarding this comment in the editing history: "brain game and speech teams are of note to only a small portion of Indiana, not to national audiences, nationally ranked sports (football, track) are inherently more notable"

If I were a person with children, and I were relocating to another city, I would probably consult Wikipedia for information on the schools in that city. The fact that WCHS's page is thin on statistics and doesn't even mention academics would probably make me steer away from it. Based on their Wikipedia entries, I would probably choose Lawrence North or North Central over WCHS.

It is a school. Schools are fundamentally academic things. In fact, the preceding statement was redundant, as "academy" means school. Therefore, I would postulate that information on a high school's academics are highly relevant and necessary to an article about that school.

I'm not just referring to the brain game and speech teams -- I think this article could benefit from more information about the quality of education at WCHS in general. --24.123.27.82 01:33, 12 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Then you need to find statistics that would make sense to a national audience. #2 ranked football team in the nation makes sense to a national audience. Brain Game is confined to Indiana alone, and at that a VERY small portion of Indiana. Football is a much more notable endevaour than a brain game competition. As well, speech teams are only notable to a small portion of the population. Much less than would know what a Track Team, or again a Football team is. Does Warren have any nationally accomplished academic or band programs? Have they been the leaders in any sort of academic technological movement? If you choose to relocate your family and choose a school based on wikipedia, then that is a sad, sad way to determine quality of schools. When/If Warren has sufficiently notable programs/academics that would appeal/make sense to those outside a minute community in the state, then they warrant mention here. As is though, this isn't Indianapedia, specifically catering to only Indiana material. Batman2005 16:41, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I am a member of the Warren Central Robotics team and we won the St. Louis Regional Robotics competition. We then quallified for the international champioship in Atlanta, Gorgia, but unfortuanatly we did not win. You asked if we (Warren Central) had any nationally accomplished academic or band team, and also if we had any sort of technological movement, considering we have an apperently good robotics team I think that it would quailfy. Also it is alot harder to win an international robotics competition in which 350 team for all over the world including Isreal, Brazil, Mexico, England, Korea, Japan and other countries totalling 27 than it is to win a state football championship when you play the same 8 teams 2 in the season (To tell you the truth the football team is way overated.)
