is that schools are not inherently notable. This article states that a school exists at a location, was founded at a certain time and has a certain number of pupils. It then links its website. There is nothing in the way of reviews or other reliable, significant coverage to suggest it passes organisation notability standards and school notability standards.

 * Redirect this unsourced one sentence stub to List of schools in Venezuela. It's quite rare for an American high school article to be deleted, or anywhere else in the rich Western world.  But let's face it, in the aggregate we don't care as much about poor non-English speaking countries, because we don't live there, and these schools are also usually harder to source due to our general lack of familiarilty with local media and language.  Hence this stub has pretty much sat alone for over 10 years, with a lone attempt to flesh it out in 2012 but only with unsourced Spanish text.  The school once had a Spanish wikipedia page which was deleted in November 2012 for lack of useful content.  I have no doubt this school gets coverage in local newspapers which would help prove its notability, but I lack the resources to locate it.  E.g., I see two recent mentions in Diario El Tiempo  but they are not significant, and I have no idea if there are online archives of newspapers for Valera, Venezuela.  The article as it is has no useful content, so deletion won't delete much, so I say let's just redirect to List of schools in Venezuela.  I also see our article on Valera doesn't even have an education section, so we have a lot of work that really should be done before we start worrying about this school.--Milowent • hasspoken  15:34, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect, American high schools that have but a one-line dictionary definition or a single US News & World Report profile as a reference would also be merged into their district lists per WP:WITHIN. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 20:45, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
