Elementary schools rarely meet notability guidelines for a dedicated article and this one doesn't appear to be much different. Claims to notability are ranking in state educational programs are interesting but dont really do much to establish notability here. Nearly every elementary school can claims sort of similar ranking. "Most improved" rankings in particular do not establish notability. Information on the solar farm is interesting but this can be adequately covered in the article on the school district. A dedicated article is not necessary Contested merge, bringing here for more editors to weigh in. RadioFan (talk) 00:49, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - yup, most elementary schools are nn but I think that this one has just about enough to cross the notability threshold. The honourable mention in the House of Representatives is the first I've seen. Of course the information can be covered in the school district article but that can be said about many other schools that are notable and is not really the point. If the school is notable it merits its own page which will encourage expansion. TerriersFan (talk) 01:31, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - Most elementary schools don't meet notability guidelines because there is nothing particularly noteworthy about them, and as a result no third-party reliable sources ever publish substantial coverage about them. "Most" is not "all," and this school seems to be one of the minority where noteworthy things have happened, resulting in substantial coverage by third-party reliable sources, as cited in the article. --Orlady (talk) 05:02, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Any reason why this cant be adequately covered in the school district article?--RadioFan (talk) 13:46, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. Meets relevant criterion established at WP:ORG. AfD hero (talk) 10:19, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - if it's not got the solar array then I'd say cover in the school district or locality. The array probably gives it real notability other than any notability that comes from having an affluent catchment area and/or able students. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:14, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
