Advice and Warning
You appear to be an exclusively promotional editor for a group of charter schools. Wikipedia strongly discourages such editing.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.

So far, unfortunately, you have not been doing it right--to the extent that, as reviewing administrator, I would be justified in deleting all of the articles as exclusively promotional and blocking you from further participation. But I am not going to do that, at least not now, because I am interested in retaining as many sustainable school articles as possible, and also in trying to instruct promotional editors how to do it right. I'll explain here how to do it--you can ask me questions on my talk page for further information. '''I warn you explicitly that if you insert another such promotional article as you did for Gateway Science Academy- St. Louis, then I shall indeed block you. '''

The practical guidelines for schools are in WP:COMMON: we normally keep articles on all verifiable secondary schools; we almost never keep articles of primary or intermediate schools, but instead merge them into articles for the town, school district, or responsible organization. In the case of the primary and intermediate schools you have been writing about, merging the basic information into the article on Concept Schools would seem the obvious choice, and I am about to do it.

Please also be aware that a Wikipedia article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. For secondary schools, we assume the material is available, but it is a very good idea to actually provide it when you write the article. Equally important, a Wikipedia article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't praise the organization or person, say what they do. Don't talk about the fine goals of the organization, which will in any case be about the same as for all schools,. Remember not to copy from a web site, even your own -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable. You have indeed given us permission for some of this material, and, just as is usually the case, it is unsuitable, and has been removed as promotional. Therefore, there's no point in bothering with giving OTRS permission--there's no way the material on your schools web pages will be kept in Wikipedia in the same form. Rather, write the appropriate basic information from scratch, using the school web sites as references for the data.

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the school and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the school, or to prospective students--that sort of content is considered promotional. I suggest you be very careful in what you do here. we are sympathetic to your goals of providing information--but we are much more strongly dedicated to the goals of providing non-promotioanl factual information appropriate to an encyclopedia.
