 * Catagorisation is probably not the best place for a new editor to begin. The problems are this is not a high school middle school or elementary school; it's a K-12 school and it was already in that catagory. The catagory "Private schools in California" includes the catagory "Private K-12 schools in California". The school is not in the city of Los Angeles, so that's not an appropriate catagory. There were other problems too....but suffice it to say categorizing is best left to more experienced editors. I've been here 5 years, and am one of the coordinators of the WikiProject Schools and I leave it to others. If you would like further clarification on how categories work, asking at the Teahouse or the help desk may help clarify it. John from Idegon (talk) 22:48, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
