Welcome to the assessment department of
WikiProject Schools! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's School articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the
WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. Ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{
WikiProject Schools}}
project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories.
If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.
An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{
WikiProject Schools}}
project banner on its talk page:
{{WikiProject Schools|class=|importance=}}
If the article already has an infobox, add the line: needs-infobox=no. By adding "info=<text of assessment>" this template will generates a boilerplate assessment text.
{{
WikiProject Schools}}
banner on the articles talk page (according to the scales below).An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{ WikiProject Schools}} project banner on its talk page:
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class school articles) | FA | |
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class school articles) | A | |
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class school articles) | GA | |
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class school articles) | B | |
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class school articles) | C | |
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class school articles) | Start | |
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class school articles) | Stub | |
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class school articles) | FL | |
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class school articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
Note: You should not assign any GA, A, FA or FL grades arbitrarily. These grades must pass through official Wikipedia channels and undergo a peer review process.
Class | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editor's experience | Examples | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
FA |
The article has obtained
Featured article status.
|
Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. |
Plano Senior High School (as of July 2008) | ||||
A |
The article is well organized and is essentially complete, having been reviewed by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere, as described
here.
|
Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. | Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style issues may need addressing. Peer-review may help. |
Lethbridge Collegiate Institute (as of June 2008) | ||||
GA |
The article has obtained
Good article status.
|
Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (although not equalling) the quality of a professional encyclopedia. | Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing featured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. | Carlton le Willows Academy (as of June 2019) | ||||
B |
The article is mostly complete and without major issues, but requires some further work to reach
Good Article standards. B-Class articles should meet the
six B-Class criteria:
|
No reader should be left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. | A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed, and expert knowledge is increasingly needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should also be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the manual of style. |
Institut Le Rosey (as of July 2008) | ||||
C |
The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial
cleanup.
|
Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. | Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and address cleanup issues. |
Nagle Catholic College, Geraldton (as of May 2017) | ||||
Start |
An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources.
|
Provides some meaningful content, but the majority of readers will need more. | Provision of references to reliable sources should be prioritised; the article will also need substantial improvements in content and organisation. |
Black Forest Academy (as of July 2008) | ||||
Stub |
A very basic description of the topic.
|
Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. |
The Grange School, Aylesbury (as of July 2008) | ||||
FL |
The article has obtained
Featured list status.
|
Professional standard; it comprehensively covers the defined scope, usually providing a complete set of items, and has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about those items. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available. |
List of schools in Northland, New Zealand (as of June 2008) | ||||
List |
Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list, which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area. | There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader. | Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized. |

School articles are rated on this importance scale. Importance must be regarded as a relative term. If importance values are applied within this project, these only reflect the perceived importance to this project and to the work groups the School falls under. An article judged to be "Top-Class" in one context may be only "Mid-Class" in another project. The criteria used for rating article priority are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Importance assessments, especially of schools in the higher categories, are frequently reassessed and may go up or down in order to retain an appropriate balance within each country and within all the categories. Assessors are not experts on the schools in every country of the world, and will only make assessments based on the content of the existing article. Assessors can also check viewing stats for school articles using the Wikipedia stats tool, though stats will only be used in combination with other factors.
