Middle school with no real claim to notability. Eight years ago, this article barely survived deletion because of receiving blue ribbon status. Blue ribbon status is now so common, having been conferred on a hundred thousand or so schools, that it really isn't much of a notability claim at all. This should be redirected or merged to Charlotte County Public Schools in accordance with longstanding tradition evidenced by WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES and the thousands of middle schools in Category:Redirects from school articles.

 * Merge (Port Charlotte, Florida) - Although partial nobility has been established with the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program, information more or less belongs on the Port Charlotte article as information is already there about school awards and no other notable criteria has been established for this middle school since the AFD in 2008.

 * Merge to Charlotte County Public Schools - not seeing any compelling reason to keep as a stand-alone article. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 14:46, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge to Charlotte County Public Schools; blue ribbon status is a weak indicator of notability without verifiable evidence of sourcing. — Esquivalience (talk) 01:56, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
