message: Isn't "independent" more of a Britishism when it comes to describing schools that are private rather than state-run?  In the US usually such schools are just called "private," in my experience.  Though perhaps "independent" is a term the Avery Coonley School itself uses?  At any rate, it seems that it might be good to include the word "private" somewhere in the lede paragraph, as, with the advent of charter schools in the US, there are more and more schools that can be said to be "independent" of a school district but still public. --Jfruh (talk) 00:57, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Avery Coonley refers to itself as "independent" and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools and so on. Independent schools in this context means private schools that are not parochial or otherwise affiliated. I agree that it is an unfamilar usage to people who are not already involved with such schools. Your point about charter schools is a good one. The school type is given as "private" in the infobox. Perhaps there is a way to work it into the lead as well. --Nasty Housecat (talk) 01:39, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "independent" 

message: One of the relevant questions in a school article is, did their selection and methodology work? Who are the notable alumni?  Is "List of Boston Latin School alumni" the only such article? It is understandable that the school itself does want to be put into the position of deciding who is notable, but that is where Wikipedia comes in.

replies: text: This came up at FAC as well. Here was the response: "The bottom line is that the school does not keep track of kids that long. They follow them up to college and then stop. Not to mention that people tend not to publicize their elementary school once they grow up. It is the one piece of information I really feel is missing but there seems to be no way to find out." I think it would be a valuable addition if reliable sources could be found. --Nasty Housecat (talk) 17:55, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Omission? 

message: So I'm New York and I spent the day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and what should I see as I was peeking around looking for American paintings, but Frank Lloyd Wright's Avery Coonley Playhouse windows. I took pictures, but can't upload them just yet. And I don't think I could have taken them without getting my reflection. I took a few standing in different positions, hoping my reflection wouldn't be too prominent. Let me know if you're interested. --Moni3ontheroad (talk) 21:47, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That would be really great. I'd love to see what they look like in real life and it would be great to have a free image I could use. Thanks! --Nasty Housecat (talk) 01:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

text: That's terric. It's kind of cool to see a photo of the real deal actually hanging in the museum.  Thanks for thinking to take the photo and for taking the time to post it. --Nasty Housecat (talk) 00:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

message: This older FA has become somewhat dated in areas - the sources for the admissions process are all at least 10 years old - is the process still the same?  Content such as "Avery Coonley serves 378 students aged 3 through 14 as of 2010, with a nearly even ratio of males to females in each grade" and "The Annual Giving Fund makes up 3.5 percent and the Annual Auction another 5 percent of the operating budget ($5.9 million in 2008–2009)" are obviously out of date.  The academic achievement section is all from before 2010.  The technology material is also quite dated and much of the stuff described isn't all that special anymore - hell, the high school I graduated from was a rural public school located out in a cow pasture, and even we had SMART boards and wireless overhead projectors.  Stuff such as "As of 2009, the curriculum is accelerated for each group" needs updating, as well. If the needed updating does not occur, a trip to WP:FAR will be needed.
