418:, meaning that it enrolls students from far and wide -- not just local kids. I searched Google for information on this high school, and I found a diverse variety of ghits. The school competes in a variety of sports, and its name shows up in newspaper articles and sports websites covering a large part of Maryland. They aren't a member of any league (so there's no sports league article to link to), but they compete against a number of other unaffiliated private schools. Other ghits I found include online bios for several alumni (not a source of notability in itself, but an indication of the school's impact in the world),
434:(George W. Bush's sister) giving an interview to the school paper, and a Google News teaser about a paywall-protected news article from 1975 about some sort of scandal involving a pretzel company that was somehow related to the school. I didn't find any monographs about the school (which seldom exist for schools), but I found plenty of less significant items that collectively lead me to conclude that it's notable. --

"Most elementary and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability are now getting merged or redirected in AfD, with high schools being kept except where they fail verifiability." It's based on the assumption that almost all high schools get significant news coverage. --
620:, it's a high school and therefore has notability. It has a fairly good chance to be expanded if we allow it the opportunity to do so, particularly in light of what Orlady has found with a relatively quick pass over Google.

If the school has received coverage then I'd support keeping it. Most schools have, but that isn't a reason to include schools

No reliable non-trivial sources. Also, I looked through images on hallway of graduates a few months ago, I did not see the "Notable Alumni" listed there and a google search with the name and school's name does not bring up reliable sources that I could see.

No, I haven't taken the time to list myself in every project that participate in since every project seems to count its participants differently.

220:
Hits are great, do you have any links to non trivial mentions? I looked through the first few pages on the books and they all appear to be either lists which are trivial or published by the school's parent organization which would then make it a primary source. Similar issues remain with the Google

notable; articles on schools should show how the school has made an impact in the world. This is easily done with most schools, but schools that are especially new, minor, or in regions without much media coverage are tougher cases. Just because most schools are notable doesn't mean they all are.
541:
we have had long-standing agreement otherwise--no high school has been deleted on that rationale for about 3 years now. The basis of the agreement was the realization that it wasn't worth sorting out the few that might not be notable. Do you really want to challenge that and go back to discussing
510:
No, I worded that badly. What I meant to say was that I don't want articles that only say "X is a high school" and have no further evidence of notability. I do disagree with the ideas behind the essay and I hope consensus shifts away from this lax attitude in the future. The question to ask when

Recommondations by a WikiProject do not take precedence over sitewide policy. No opinion on the present article, just a note that the school's small size might be a reason why coverage is hard to find.
353:
It is recommended that editors only create a school article when its content shows that it already passes the notability guideline by displaying significant coverage in reliable sources.

I've asked this before, I'll ask again: where in wikipedia policy do we find that all high schools, with or without non-trivial reliable sources have de-facto notability? Where is it?
