 * – (View AfD) (View log)

non notable elementary school. Elementary schools do not generally have inherent notability, and this one only has light assertions of notability (otherwise it would be speedied). &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Denny Crane.  01:17, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable as a magnet school and one of the first schools in the district to be desegregated.--orlady 14:12, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, the fact that it lost much of its enrollment after Hurricane Andrew (and was converted to a magnet school to maintain enrollment) seems "noteworthy," even if it is not an item that appears on a standard Wikipedia list of features that make a school "notable."--orlady 12:21, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Being one of the first schools in the district does not make it notable Corpx - WP is not a directory of elementary schools 04:03, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The Miami-Dade County school district is not exactly small. --orlady 12:21, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete No assertion of notability per my view of school notability. Eusebeus 10:38, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Status as a magnet school of excellence for ten consecutive years, with ample reliable and verifiable sources to demonstrate the school's achievements and unique program, satisfies the Notability standard. Alansohn 07:48, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment That magnet school of excellence recognition that Alansohn documented goes to a very short list of schools nationally. That's a significantly notable aspect. --orlady 13:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep and censure nominator for disruptive nominations. The school is notable as a magnet school and for being one of the first within the district to be desegregated.  Burntsauce 17:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Silensor/Schools no compelling reason has been given for deletion herein this second nomination. Silensor 07:54, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * keep per having many reliable sources and per having an award given to a small number of schools. I still think that Silensor's essay should be completely disregarded, but in this case we have a heck a of lot (ok, so I'm becoming an inclusionist. Everyone changes).
