article (I didn't have a Wiki account at the time of creation) and I essentially built the article from scratch, I would suggest that if anyone proposes major revisions of the article, to discuss the revisions and give reasons for the revisions and how those revisions would actually improve upon the article, and make it better. I am always welcoming of those who wish to add to the article, but we want to "add" and not "take away" from what's all ready here.

Here's the problem. There are multiple people on Wiki with their multiple opinions, each giving a different view or suggestion on things. This article was created because someone else stated that there was no uniformity with the content of magnet programs that were present at multiple schools (i.e.

The authors have already done a nice job providing statistics; some national or state average figures to compare these to would be useful. Having said that, I believe the article could be further improved by better pointing out what makes PGCPS different from other schools, both in terms of local

A particular wikiuser has been (needlessly) reformatting the main PGCPS article, and has provided no tangible reasons for the revisions. Moreover, the revisions seem rather senseless and only end up making the article look very tacky and messy. Considering I am the person who created the PGPCS
