 * Keep - If you look through the talk archive, you'll see their are myriad sources discussing this school. It easily passes GNG. 174.212.238.134 (talk) 18:10, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * But most of those sources were related, not reliable, independent sources conform WP:RS. The Banner  talk 19:36, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * A detailed article in a big city daily along with the usual list of common sources should reach the relatively low bar we've set for schools. 174.254.193.220 (talk) 06:37, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't say there is a low bar for the notability of schools. It's about the same as other organizations. Especially considering the recent RFC about subject specific guidelines taking precedence over the GNG and school outcomes not being valid in AFCs anymore. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:17, 26 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete The sources might pass the GNG, although it's questionable IMO, but they don't pass WP:NORG from what I can tell. Which is the relevant guideline for the notability of schools now that there was an RfC about it. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:19, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The article notes that Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School is "modeled after Nativity and Cristo Rey (Christ the King) schools founded by Jesuit priests decades ago in major cities". The article notes that Lawrence is "one of the state's poorest cities" and Cristo Rey schools depend nearly fully on charity and companies. The article notes that Notre Dame's students are in a work-study program in which they spend five days monthly at a company. Their tuition is $12,000, and the work allows them to receive wages that pay for 60% of it, or $7,000, so they only need to pay $2,900. The article notes "Notre Dame, located in the former St. Mary parish high school on Haverhill Street, must attract more business support to grow." It says that the work-study program makes the school $1.5 million annually. This is almost 50% of its $3.3 million yearly budget. The school has partnered with 74 companies at which its students work. Law firms, technology companies, and hospitals participate in the work-study program. The school has classes from 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Volunteers help tutor students in "study halls". The school has vans that transport the students to and from work; the transportation can be 1.5 hours in one direction.  The article notes, "Notre Dame Cristo Rey (NDCR) High School began as a new school in Lawrence, starting with 80 students and totaling 270 students in 2016. It is run by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. ... In the 2015–2016 school year stu- dents at Cristo Rey Boston earned more than $2.6 million at 125 businesses and non-profit organizations. Employers pay about $34,800 per year for a team of four students, which equates to $23 per hour, according to John O’Keeffe, director of the work study program, though the program is sold both as a way for companies to get work done and an opportunity to help urban young people pay for a college preparatory educa- tion. About 60 percent of the school’s revenue comes from the work-study program."  The article notes, "When Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School was founded in 2004, its mission was to give students from low-income families in Lawrence the opportunity to receive a solid Catholic education and win acceptance at colleges and universities. Thirteen years later, Cristo Rey is batting 1.000, according to Sister Maryalyce Gilfeather, SND, PhD, the school's president and a longtime member of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur." The article notes that Anthony Zavagnin is the principal, the tuition is $7,750, and the students can "afford" that tuition by doing a "corporate work/study" job. The students work at MITRE, Raytheon, Lawrence Catholic Academy, Lawrence General Hospital, Lowell General Hospital, Ironstone Farm, New England Biolabs. The students do jobs that involve "filing, data entry coding and serving as receptionists" as well as nursing assistants. The students wears blue uniforms. Sports offered by the school include softball and basketball. The school is located at 303 Haverhill St., which housed for numerous years the all-girls school St. Mary High School, which stopped operations in 1996. The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur took over the building and established Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School in it. In 2008, the school's inaugural class of students graduated.</li> <li> The article notes, "Opened in 2004, Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School is one of six schools in Massachusetts run by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. The Lawrence school, which rents its space from a local parish, is the only Notre Dame school in the country that belongs to Cristo Rey, a national network of Catholic schools that serve disadvantaged youth."</li> <li> The article notes that Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School held a graduation ceremony for 63 seniors who received a 100% college acceptance rate. The article notes that during the students' four-year tenure at the high school, the school had four principals.</li> <li> The articles notes that Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School was established in 2004, has 282 students (70 seniors, 62 juniors, 72 sophomores, and 78 freshmen), has a $14,500 tuition, and 85% of students cannot pay the full tuition but every family contributes an amount. 90% of the students live in Lawrence. 66% of the students are female and 34% are male. The article notes that Sr. Maralyce Gilfeather is the president of Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School.</li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep - the sources presented by Cunard convince me that the subject passes the GNG (and, for that matter, NCORP). Extraordinary Writ (talk) 19:28, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
