The result was   delete for now with no prejudice towards recreation as a redirect to Orlady's under-construction article when it is ready for mainspace. If you would like a copy of this for reference I'd be happy to do that for you. (I'm a product of Montessori education myself. Not sure if that is an endorsement or a cautionary tale...)

 * Redirect to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. No content that is worth merging, but redirects are cheap. tedder (talk) 16:12, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete no assertion of notability, content is so minimal that it's not worth saving, .  Royal broil  05:18, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge - This school does not seem to be notable, but it is relevant to the topic of Charter schools in Milwaukee, which is notable and should be the destination article for a merger. There's this study report by the Brookings Institution on Milwaukee's charter schools; it's been widely cited in the United States news media. I've edited the article to include references to a couple of other relevant third-party sources. Neither Milwaukee, Wisconsin nor Milwaukee Public Schools is a good merger destination because both articles are focused on Milwaukee Public Schools, which is just one of the four different agencies in Milwaukee that authorize charter schools. Downtown Montessori Academy is not affiliated with Milwaukee Public Schools, but instead is connected to the Milwaukee city council. I can start an article (in my user space) on Milwaukee charter schools or possibly the broader topic of school choice in Milwaukee (Milwaukee pioneered school vouchers in the U.S.; they are related to charter schools, but different). However, a much better article could be written by someone closer to Milwaukee education. --Orlady (talk) 03:59, 8 February 2011 (UTC) I statted work on a new article: User:Orlady/Stuff I'm working on/Charter schools in Milwaukee. --Orlady (talk) 05:18, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
