List of schools in Wadsworth, Illinois
Not even a list. There already is a article for the school on in this "list". Kushboy 05:40, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * keep potential to expand this article unlike the school. Other schools in that town should be added. --Tim Pope 06:45, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete lists of one, particularly since there is an article for the school that duplicates the information. --Scimitar parley 17:46, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I added two more schools, but I think that's the end of 'em.  Wadsworth's not what you might call a big town. -- Visviva 18:39, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Wadsworth, Illinois as a section titled "Education." Every locality article should have one.  That will also help people to understand that the entries ought to be short --  otherwise, some are bound to make the author's mistake and put entire school articles here.  -- Visviva 18:39, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a result of Tim Pope's odd approach to merging.  The article is actually here; quite a reasonable school article which could use a lot of expansion.  Tim has decided to wipe out most of the information about the school, move it to a "list of" article and then add tiny little gobbets of information from other school articles which he intends to keep as redirects.  So don't be deceived by the insubstantial nature of the article at present.  It has been edited close to death but can be restored and expanded whent he VfD is over. --Tony Sidaway Talk  20:42, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Wrong on several counts, I "wiped" nothing, I moved an article. The "gobbets" were not added by me. I do not intend to create redirects. Please check your facts. --Tim Pope 21:07, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * FIne, then you won't object to my reverting the article to its original version before you mucked around with it so that we can work on improving it. --Tony Sidaway Talk 21:25, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Ask Visvia, it's his edits that have been lost. You've deleted two schools!--Tim Pope 21:31, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Absolutely not. They have their own articles. --Tony Sidaway Talk
 * Comment: Sheesh, I'll save my effort next time.  I was just trying to convert this to an actual list, per its title, since we already have a suitable article on Millburn School, Wadsworth, Illinois.  If that was such a bad idea, my edits could simply have been reverted.  Very strange behavior from all sides, here.  -- Visviva 23:39, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It's hard to explain what happened as a result of Tim's "musical chairs" approach to merging, but I'll try.  The article that was at Millburn School, Wadsworth, Illinois was a clone created by someone after Tim moved the actual article to the list article.  I deleted that clone because its material is already in the edit history of this article, which I've now moved back to (you guessed it) Millburn School, Wadsworth, Illinois.
 * You gave adequate material for two school stubs, so I created those stubs with attribution. --Tony Sidaway Talk  00:12, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Millburn School is a K-8 school facility meaning that it ranges from Kindergarden to the 8th Grade. The mascot is a mustang. . Although it is located in Wadsworth, most of the students live in surrounding or nearby towns such as Lindenhurst, Antioch, Old Mill Creek and more.

8th Grade students in Millburn usually are seperated into three different high schools depending on where they live. The high schools are Lakes Community High School (LCHS) which is located in Lindenhurst, Grayslake Community High School (GCHS) which is located in Grayslake, and Warren High School (WHS) which is located in Gurnee.

During 2004 - 2005, a local vote was issued to build a new school since Millburn was getting crowded. In 2005, it was announced that a new school was to be built in the neighborhood of Heritage Trails in Lindenhurst. It is named Milburn West and the mascot is a cougar.
