Non-notable, unsourced, elementary school.  MBisanz  talk 02:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Speedy Delete Per CSD section A7. hmssolent\Let's convene 04:42, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a directory for every single school or college on the world, if this school is not notable thus its article should be deleted. Eduemoni↑talk↓  04:55, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 *  Comment . CSD-A7 does not apply to schools, so this article cannot be speedy-deleted on that basis. Articles about non-notable elementary schools are usually redirected to the locality or school district (in this case, Georgetown County School District) rather than being deleted. The reference to the Palmetto's Finest award is a claim of notability, but does not seen to be enough to establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:24, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect - to Georgetown County School District as per precedent for nn primary  schools. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:10, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect per standard practice for non-notable elementary schools. Carrite (talk) 16:13, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. Kaldari (talk) 17:13, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment this isn't the only elementary school with this name. It is inappropriate to redirect it to the school district, which would imply this is the primary topic of schools with this name. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 06:51, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, do not redirect non-notable elementary school, one of many with this same name. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 06:51, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Then perhaps the article should be changed to a redirect page that would look like this:
 * McDonald Elementary School or Macdonald Elementary School can refer to:
 * Atwood McDonald Elementary School, Fort Worth, Texas, operated by (link to name of school district)
 * or
 * Atwood McDonald Elementary School, Fort Worth, Texas (link to education section of locality article if there is no article on the school district)
 * McDonald Elementary School, Georgetown, South Carolina, operated by (Georgetown County School District
 * McDonald Elementary School, Moscow, Idaho, operated by (link to name of school district)

Even when an elementary school is not individually notable, it is part of a school district, and school districts are usually notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:29, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Eastmain's dab/redirect suggestion is a good idea. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:51, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as an disambiguation page with branching redirects, as is standard practice for low-level notability elementary schools with common names.  coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  20:59, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
