Talk:Lakeside School (Seattle)

message: "Recently, Lakeside has been recognized in national publications for its students' exceptional SAT scores and high admission rates to top universities. Widely regarded as one of the top college prep schools in the country, it regularly sends up to 25% of its graduating class to Ivy League schools." But ever since Bernie Noe became headmaster these once high statistics have been slowly declining. The truth is many see lakeside is now a dwindling institution because of its lack of good teachers and the absence of a good administration
In which national publications was Lakeside recognized? By whom is it widely regarded as a top college prep school? Lakeside is widely regarded by some of my friends in Seattle as a snob factory and elitist institution but that doesn't mean it should be in the article. :) --Chinawhitecotton 05:52, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

message: "The number one university for Lakeside graduates is the University of Washington, the biggest public university in the state."
What exactly does this mean? That more graduates go to the UW than to any other university? If so I think it should be reworded - "number one" implies the best university. Not that the UW is not good. 
It would be interesting to find statistics for where all the grads go to college.

replies: text: For the record, I still don't see where on the Lakeside site they talk about ivy league schools. Not that it would surprise me if so many went, just an issue of proper citation. --Chinawhitecotton 13:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: You have no right to be talking about which schools are a snob factory if you have not attended them. Didn't get your child in? Sorry but I'm afraid you don't really have an argument. Granted it costs around $20,000 per year. But they offer quite a bit of financial aid. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.103.85.128 (talk) 22:25, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I went there. But even if I didn't I would still have a right to say that some people think of the school in a certain way. My only point was that you need to provide evidence for statements. That is why I didn't say that the school was a snob factory in the actual article. So, I think I do have an argument, actually. Did you learn your debate skills at Lakeside?? --Chinawhitecotton 23:55, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: A page isn't required; but the individual should at least be able to be demonstrated to meet the requirements of WP:BIO "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.".  A reference to a reliable third party with more than just  trivial coverage would accomplish this. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 14:39, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
