Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school site. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and, as it has recently been editted, then I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of start on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of Low on this importance scale.
My reasoning is as follows: This article is extensive, but not well referenced. A lot of lists, some more pics and is someone else going to help .... it takes a few people to get a consensus. It also needs some Copy editing. Victuallers 17:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC) version2 Victuallers 22:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the text inserted by 166.87.255.132, at 21:34 on 19 May 2006, as it appears to have been copied from a copyrighted source: http://www.boardingschoolreview.com/school_ov/school_id/109. Cbvt 18:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I would put an image up but i don't know how, images can be found by searching on google if that is allowed—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.25.2.174 ( talk • contribs) 18:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC).
The page is written in a highly personalized fasion. The following sentence "Also, a tirelessly devoted and amazing athletic trainer who gives excellent sports massages is on campus and has several students in his sports medication 2 course assist him. Many have gone on to study physical therapy or sports medicine and are ACT certified." supports such a writing platform. I suggest that this article be re-written; preferably from a neutral third-person view. Rajrajmarley 19:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
The school must have a rich history. This needs to be brought out by someone who has records available. The history needs to be significant, not records of annual balls or anything. Student7 03:03, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I do not have the records avaiable, but as an alumni i would like to see this section expanded because of our schools rich history and tradition. Be sure to include a section explaining the great football rivalry with Lyndon Institute. Ikaveman 18:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Just went looking for a Wikipedia article that is highly rated for high schools. There weren't many! Anyway, one is Stuyvesant High School in NYC. They are a huge school. Nevertheless, maybe we can get some ideas from it.
It shows a lot of work. They have gobs of footnotes. They aren' perfect. Their first one refers to the "prestigious" universities their students go to. This is not substantiated by their reference. Sounds POV to me, but I wasn't about to mess with one of the few FA articles on schools in the world!
Another article is Hopkins School. They are smaller. Incredibly old. They have a tiny athletics subarticle. They discuss cost which seems reasonable. (The cost doesn't seem reasonable! The discussion seems reasonable!) Not a lot of footnotes.
The last is Plano Senior High School, another large scbool. Like most Texas schools, they are big on sports. Data is well organized and presented. Lots of footnotes again.
All have histories. See what you think. Student7 23:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I've organized the list of alumni chronologically, as best I could. Two entries have no associated dates. I also note with some dismay the number of entries in the list of "traditions" that have no explanation whatsoever, which makes them essentially useless for non-students. (For instance, "Senior privileges".) Perhaps someone associated with the school could take on the task of telling us what these enigmatic entries mean, and what they are intended to promote or teach, or else someone is liable to come along and, recognizing their present non-notability and lack of informational content, delete them.

Several editors have tried to describe the academy as other than private. It has a board of directors, not a school board. It may take money from public school boards. That does not make it semi-private or public. (I would rather leave this in the article as a comment since the newbies making these remarks aren't even aware that a discussion page exists). Student7 ( talk) 23:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I cleaned up this article to remove unencyclopedic content and copyvio text. I also sourced what I could and made a note where sources are needed. Keep in mind that school details are not necessarily encyclopedic and all sources must be reliable. TRAVELLINGCARI My story Tell me yours 03:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Just a minor comment. All national figures attract protest. What would be notable is that he attracted no protest. Just a thought. Since his appearance was routine, essentially a courtesy to his son, and not a dramatic announcement of new policy or anything. Student7 ( talk) 22:03, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Just an inquiry only. Since the one coach did achieve statewide notability, couldn't he be listed very briefly (shorter than before - one line at most) under "notable faculty"? The more lengthy explanation would be in his article if he ever had one.
I don't care for long notable lists myself. Another disclosure: I am not an alum! :) Student7 ( talk) 11:54, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
The following two people were not considered notable engouth for inclusion:
These need to be re-added if and when an article is written AND a reference can be found tying them to the Academy. Student7 ( talk) 20:20, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
