As with most articles on schools, it lacks notability. That it gives the location of an apparent, child-celebrity, strikes me as a little odd, but nonetheless. THobern 07:50, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. Alberon (talk) 09:06, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTE and WP:RS. The performance at Disney's Magic Music days might warrant a mention in the school district's article, as that event is a big deal from the school's (and community's) perspective; there may be a source for it. Otherwise, there's no evidence to suggest that the school is itself notable. ZZ Claims~ Evidence 13:40, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep recognition by the Blue Ribbon Schools Program, accompanied by reliable and verifiable sources, satisfies the Notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 15:10, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - Blue Ribbon is the highest award given to US schools and make the school highly notable. TerriersFan (talk) 16:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per ZZ, no assertion of actual notability itself. --ForbiddenWord (talk) 16:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - of course there is - a Blue Ribbon school. TerriersFan (talk) 16:49, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. User:TerriersFan has done a nice expansion demonstrating clear notability. With time, any school stub can have interesting, notable additions. Deleting school articles has no benefit and causes stub re-creation instead of incremental expansion. Double Blue  (Talk) 16:19, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I can only presume this article has improved dramatically. No one would surely delete it as it stands. Strongly agree with Blues underlying point. Victuallers (talk) 18:35, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly meets WP:N. Noroton (talk) 01:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep It has many references, no need to delete! &mdash;  Noah¢s   ( Talk )  22:28, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
