Notable staff/pupils

Shouldn't these all have citations?--Esemgee (talk) 19:01, 13 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Assessment

edit

I'm assessing this article for WikiProject Schools following a request. Firstly, due to the well cited and long list of notable alumni, I am giving this school article mid-importance for the project. On assessment ratings, I have decided to give this article C-class, and with work it could be B-class. Its good to see a school article which is generally well referenced, with the alumni section being particularly impressive, though I would recommend splitting-up notable pupils and staff into two sections. Use of citation templates would also look better and do generally referencing easier. The history section is a decent length though more references, and a greater variety of it, should be added if possible. Some other areas of the article need significant expansion - see WP:WPSCH/AG#S for ideas. The curriculum section does read a bit like something out of a school leaflet; the information here needs to be more specific and written in a neutral tone. Finally, I would suggest if possible taking some pictures of the school (with a camera) and then uploading them to Wikimedia Commons ready for use in the article if possible.

Aerial photo

edit

I have an aerial photo of the school site I took in 2003. I will upload it to Wikimedia commons. Should it go in a school site section or the History section?

Curriculum Section content

edit

What kind of thing should go in the curriculum section? If it's not meant to be the kind of thing that would be in a prospectus I can't think what should go in there.Crex44 (talk) 18:37, 25 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

WP:WPSCH/AG#OS should give you a brief review of what is needed in the curriculum section. Try to stick to bare facts, in other words, a simple description of what the school teaches from year to year - the second paragraph of the existing section is along the right lines. The curriculum section should probably include academic performance, so there shouldn't be need for a separate section for that. CT Cooper · talk 17:18, 22 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Re-assessment

edit

It has been requested that I re-assess the article. This article is coming along nicely, and I would say it is very close to B-class. The main issue remaining is that there are still some clear gaps in referencing, particularly in the history section, that need to be ironed out. Also, although not required for B-class, I still recommend using citation templates such as {{cite web}} or {{cite news}}. Please feel free to drop a note at WP:WPSCH/A#R or at User talk:CT Cooper if any further help is desired. CT Cooper · talk 17:19, 22 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

School name

edit

I don't think it needs to say (formerly St. Mary's Catholic High School) at the start of the article because it was only called that from September 2011 - February 2013. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.151.77.48 (talk) 20:25, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

It should be somewhere in the article that this was a former name and it is currently only in the lead. Keith D (talk) 22:31, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
