I am assessing this article for WikiProject Schools following a request. This is an impressive article, and hence I am granting it B-class, there are areas that could be improved but it still passes Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria. The illustration of the article is very good, there are a few suggestions I can give though. First, the image in the infobox should generally be the logo, rather than it being in bedded deep into the article. Second, the images (except the logo, as it is non-free) should probably be moved to Wikimedia Commons, there they can be used on any Wikimedia project and you can create a dedicated gallery page and link to it from this article. If you need any help, ask me. Third, having the text squashed between the image and the info box looks a bit awkward, I would move stuff around a bit to avoid this if possible. The standard of referencing is pretty good, though not all refs use templates such as {{ cite web}}, which I recommend they do so so to help all needed information be given for each ref and to improve the look of the article. The lead should possibly be expanded a bit more to fully summarise the entire article. There is also one reference missing with the alumni. For importance I am upping this article to mid importance given the schools history, awards, and alumni. Following this assessment I am listing it at WP:WPSCH as a potential good article candidate. Camaron · Christopher · talk 18:59, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
I have been asked to re-assess this article. It is coming on nicely, the picture arrangement looks a lot better now and it is good to have all the pictures on Commons. The lead and referencing also look better, though a few refs are still bare URLs and should be converted to {{ Cite web}}. This article is already B-class which is the highest rating on the WP:ASSESS scale I can give it outside Wikipedia processes. For the next grade, GA, the article needs to go through the Wikipedia:Good articles process. To do this go to Wikipedia:Good article nominations and follow the instructions. For an article to pass GA it needs to meet the Wikipedia:Good article criteria, which are a stricter than that for B-class. Camaron · Christopher · talk 12:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Looking good at first glance. Will review. -shirulashem (talk) 19:56, 10 July 2009 (UTC) Some things to work on:
This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I'm bringing this article through the
GAN process and potentially preparing this article for
FAC. Looking for comments from editors to see what I can do to pass
GAN and possibly even
FAC Is the article comprehensive enough? What details are missing? There have been some concerns about
NPOV in the article, are there still some remains of non-
NPOV statements (especially in the Math Team and Speech and Debate sections)? Transitions are a bit rough - I would appreciate some suggestions on how to make the prose of the article flow better. Is the last paragraph of the lead an appropriate summary of the article's content? I would greatly appreciate your help in reviewing this article and judging how far away it is from
Good Article and
Featured Article Criteria.
Thanks for your time,

I have removed the following lines from the article due to difficulty in finding appropriate up-to-date citations or further details.

First of all: Kudos on all your hard work! You've clearly put a lot of time and effort into this article. It is very well-documented and reads smoothly for the most part. If you plan to take this article to FAC, I advise you (if you haven't done so already) to peruse current FAs about schools such as Stuyvesant High School and Plano Senior High School. See if they include any areas of information that you may have missed.
Below are some comments and questions I had while I was reading the article. Feel free to address them (or not) at your leisure. These are suggestions for you to consider; there is no need to provide green tick marks or get my approval for repairs.

The following sections, paragraphs, lines, have been removed from an earlier version of the article for various reasons. They may still be of use so I will include them here.
Amador Valley's student newspaper is titled The Amadon. Individuals writing for the paper are students of the Journalism class. [1] The Amadon is generally published once a month. The paper has won individual awards from programs such as the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, [2] and articles on the online edition of the Amadon have been featured by My High School Journalism's national edition. [3]
The overall goal of Amador Valley High School is "...to promote and enhance the intellectual and personal growth of our students." In order to fulfill this mission statement, the school implemented three Expected Schoolwide Learning Results (ESLRs): Critical Thinking, Curricular Achievement, and Civic Responsability. [4]

There is a discrepancy in this section: the article claims that "the student population at Amador Valley is predominantly Asian, with a large White minority," whereas the table right next to it shows the reverse (17% Asian, 68% white). Brutannica ( talk) 02:26, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
