The result was keep. WP:SNOW, before the seven day mark. There is a well established guideline at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES which states that high schools are generally presumed as notable if they can be verified through reliable sources.

Non-notable school, enrollment of 120. No significant independent coverage. JFH (talk) 20:33, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Consensus is that secondary schools are presumed notable, even small ones. This is a K-12 school, so it qualifies. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 21:30, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Would you mind pointing me to a policy or guideline? --JFH (talk) 21:42, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That essay only says that it is common for these discussion (which are supposed to be policy-based) often end that way. It is contrary to common sense that a school this small would be notable, and the complete absence of any significant independent coverage backs that up. --JFH (talk) 23:56, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It may well be contrary to your notion of common sense, but not to mine. There are many rural areas where a school of 120 students would be considered large, or at least average. Since we have no shortages of paper or ink, a decision to allow articles on any secondary school seems a reasonable one to me. Reliable sources are available and the consensus is there.

Keep per Wikipedia:Notability (high schools) and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Per significant precedent, secondary schools typically qualify for a stand-alone article on Wikipedia. Northamerica1000^(talk) 04:59, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for my usual reasons. Verified secondary school. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:13, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and WP:SNOW close. Enrollments, whether high or low, do not de-legitimize a secondary school. As described in WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES -- while an essay, it's possibly one of the most heavily weighted and cited essay's on XfD. Mkdw ^talk 05:15, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per longstanding consensus that high schools are notable if existence is confirmed. The reason being: well-written biographies mention high schools and these links should be blue, not red. Moreover, high schools are assumed to be the subject of coverage for sporting teams, drama clubs, etc. and are generally community landmarks. Carrite (talk) 04:26, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - well established high school. Significant instituiton in its area. The way forward is to expand the article, which is the way stubs grow, not to delete. TerriersFan (talk) 01:46, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
