 * Redirect to city or school district, per the well-established general consensus here for the vast majority of K-8 educational institutions. Since it seems there are a fairly vast number of AfD challenges of elementary schools today, I'm going to copy-and-paste this where appropriate, with apologies. The rule of thumb to redirect elementary schools and keep secondary schools is a necessary thing, a good compromise between those wanting a narrow, focused encyclopedia and those wanting a vast, expansive one. Rather than going to war over the notability or lack thereof of dozens or scores or hundreds of schools each day, we have a streamlined and ultimately effective process that most everyone can live with. Apologies to the creators of affected pages, but it really does need to be this way, in my opinion... Carrite (talk) 07:07, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Oak Forest, Illinois according  to  established procedure for non -notable primary/elementary/middle schools to  article about  school  district or locality. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:37, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Replace with disambiguation page. I see at least 7 of these right off the bat, 6 of which appear to be grade schools, probably in that twilight area where people might need to know an ambiguous wikilink refers to one of them (and therefore should probably be unlinked), but not notable enough to get their own articles:
 * St Damian's Primary School (Bundoora, Victoria in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne)
 * St. Damian's National School (Beechfield Close, Walkinstown, Dublin)
 * St. Damian's School (Quarry Drive, Perrystown, County Dublin) &mdash; not sure if this is the same as the one in Walkinstown
 * St. Damian School (Oak Forest, Illinois in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago)
 * St. Damian School (Westland, Michigan in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit)
 * St. Damian's School (Walkinstown, Dublin)
 * Damien High School (La Verne, California in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles) --Closeapple (talk) 05:34, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
