It's an advertisement with no actual encyclopedic material. Ejg930 (talk) 11:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I reverted the advertising and consensus has established that all secondary schools are notable. Edward321 (talk) 13:11, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:OUTCOMES and WP:NHS. There is long been a consensus that high schools are de facto notable.  Grandmartin11 (talk) 16:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep see WP:NHS - "We NEVER delete high school articles on the basis of notability".  However, this particular school's website solicits franchisees (!!!) and the article could become spammy again if no one keeps an eye on it.  Drawn Some (talk) 16:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * What about WP:ORG? - Mgm|(talk) 12:24, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect While we have the straw that the school made a top 200, I'm unable to ascertain whether the organization making the list is independent or even an authority (meaning that verifiability rather than notability is in question). Fact remains that there is not sufficient information to support a separate article. It's better merged into a larger article about the school district or town until there is sufficient information to spin it out. - Mgm|(talk) 12:22, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, the spam issue is separate from the notability issue and consensus on secondary/high schools. tedder (talk) 15:05, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Regardless of the top 200 list, this is notable by longstanding consensus and can stand by itself, no need to merge. Nyttend (talk) 15:07, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - high school and sources are available from which the page cab be expanded. TerriersFan (talk) 14:36, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete No actual evidence of notability supplied, just the usual circular reasoning of the "Keep all article on schools" brigade. Rather than discuss how other schools are notable, why doesn't someone demonstrate how this school is notable. The concept of inherent notability is a fiction The idea that all schools are notable is based on the notion that articles on schools are generally kept, which in turn is based on the assumption that all schools are notable. Thus a reinforcing chain of inferences is established that leads to nonsense like WP:NHS (which despite looking like a branch of the WP:N guideline is merely an essay). Each article needs to establish its own notability and this article singularly fails to do so. -- Mattinbgn\talk 01:12, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, it's a highschool with a not particularly impressive ranking on a single website of questionable reliability, and that seems to have less than 100 students. I'm baffled how anyone could strongly argue for the notability of this school/business.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:40, 4 May 2009 (UTC).
