I can sympathize -- but  seems, if anything, a bit looser than some notability guidelines for award-winning ''people'' (depending on what they might or might not be notable for).  If so, that could be a problem with the guidelines.  I'd prefer more consistency among them, but am also reminded that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds."  In this case, we've got multiple awards for the school -- "automatic notability" from a ''single'' award (the issue you seem to raise above) isn't really on the table.  So what ''do'' we have to settle, and what do we have to go on for settling it?   doesn't mention "awards" per se, but it does say that ''"organizations whose activities are local in scope (e.g., a school ....) may be notable if there is substantial verifiable evidence of coverage by reliable independent sources outside the organization's local area."''  The award notices certainly count as "substantial verifiable evidence".  But do these notices ''also'' count as "coverage ... outside the organization's local area"?  "Coverage", to me, implies coverage by news organizations of some kind, but is it really that narrow?  Well, let's look at the policy that  links at its phrasing ''"substantial verifiable evidence of coverage"'': .  And it says ''"'''significant''' independent coverage '''or recognition'''"''  An award certainly counts as "recognition"; whether it's "significant" might be subject-dependent.  If the subject is middle schools, maybe national Blue Ribbon and/or Melba foreign-language program count as "significant
