This article was listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, and the consensus was keep: see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/The Pembroke Hill School
The article includes the statement that "The school boasts an acceptance rate of approximately 66 percent."[1] Could someone clarify? Does this mean the school accepts 66% of applicants, or that 66% of its students are accepted to college, etc (probably not the latter due to "usually matriculates..." in the next paragraph.) Why is this a "boast"? The citation is to Peterson's Guide to Private Secondary Schools..but I don't have access to that publication. Thanks! -- Josh Powell ( talk) 23:04, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
I question the neutrality of the statement "unreported in order to preserve academic image" with regard to the average SAT score (on the side bar). I don't doubt that there may truth to it, but I do doubt that that is the school's official response.
I agree. The person who had written that seems to be a current student at PHS, and put false information in the "notable alumni" portion (Homayon Ghassemi, according to a Google search, was a stduent at PHS last year, and is not a "Renowned Classical Scholar"). I have reverted the information and removed the NPOV notice. 134.193.105.140 15:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Good eye- I didn't even notice the "Homayon Ghassemi" part

65.28.31.189 seems to have a problem with any mention of the Ivy League in the introduction to the article; he also deleted the replacement descriptor denoting "prestigious" colleges, which was lifted directly from the MICDS article. Interestingly, the descriptor that PHS sends many of its graduates to Ivy League colleges has been a part of the article nearly since its inception several years, and to date none of the many contributors have had a problem with it - presumably because to most Kansas Citians this simply seems obvious. Instead, however, to placate 65.28.31.189, "statistical proof" seems necessary. On average, PHS sends approximately 10% of its graduates to Ivy League colleges, some years more (some years FAR more) and some years less. Without question, this rate is far higher than any other secondary school in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Accordingly, I have replaced the descriptor. Let it be. This new Wikipedian is its sole protester, and the protest is unwarranted. Could there be an agenda behind the protest? 65.28.2.218 12:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
And the quarrel continues
It appears as if 65.28.2.218 is affiliated with Pembroke Hill. It appears as if the information obtained was obtained by some sort of an employee or alumnus/ae. The Ivy League clause seems to be a point of vehement contention? I find myself asking why? Unless the aforementioned wikipedian was somehow deeply affiliated with Pembroke Hill, then why the dispute? (As a Kansas Citian I can attest, Pembroke Hill's Ivy League placement is not outstanding, in fact other schools in the area such as Rockhurst and Shawnee Mission East also have numerous graduates attend Ivy League schools. So I must, in this instance, beseech 65.28.2.218 to reveal his or her affiliation with the school. If there is none, then why such a conflict? Could there be an agenda behind the protest?
That wasn't my question....
Funny, you never answered my question? Are you affiliated with the school?
Laughable
Really don't want to answer that question do you? I guess that seems only logical in your case, for if you chose to your loudly proclaimed credibility would be somewhat diminished now wouldn't it? In tripping all over yourself to immediately issue a virtual "no commment" (With more than enough circumlocution) you have only helped to illustrate my point.
Deflection!!! ^^^^^^
It's true that a large proportion of Pembroke Hill students go off to Ivy League colleges... This year it's at least five percent, a much larger number than the percent of total next-year college students going to Ivy League colleges... It would be stupid and dishonest to remove that statement from this article. 24.163.244.140 16:14, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

User 64.218.107.110 has been blanking the information about the 1997, 1998, and 1999 state basketball championships (and the resulting nationally-publicized scandal), as well as the information about the infamous 1988 "High School on Easy Street" article. All of that information is relevant to the subject of the Pembroke Hill School, comes from reliable sources which are accurately cited, and is not original research. Blanking that information simply because it is not flattering to the Pembroke Hill School violates Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. 64.218.107.110 ( talk) 17:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
