A few instances of "Ben Franklin" instead of "Benjamin Franklin". Ben Franklin is a crafts store, not a high school. And for God's sake, lose the trivia section. Trivia sections are bad. is the list of courses really relevant?
The thing about "Ben Franklin" is that it's one of the most commonly used nicknames for the school, which is mentioned in the lead. It's often how people distinguish between this school and Franklin High School in Franklin, Louisiana. But if it's really an issue, I'll go ahead and change those instances. As for the trivia section, I agree that it could be better incorporated, but I was also under the impression that Manual of Style guidelines were
strongly recommended for GA articles, not required. Regardless, I'll start to see if I can get rid of the trivia section. --

Maybe a couple more images of the actual school, inside and out.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
There are a few too many lists, such as "notable alumni", and the trivia section needs to go.
I'm not sure about the course listing either. I think perhaps I'll remove it for now until a section properly describing the curriculum can be created. The notable alumni list is tricky, partly because it's a recommendation of
Wikiproject Schools, yet it 's still a bit too short to merit its own page as with
Stuyvesant_High_School#Notable_people. It's also largely
discretionary as to who is worthy of inclusion. Not quite sure what to do about that. I think the main issue definitely is a few too many lists. Whether that makes it unworthy of GA is your call. Thanks! --
