replies: text: Just because there's a marching band section isn't a good reason why a Quiz Kids section should be added.  I'm not against adding one but there should be sufficient material to explain why QK is significant at the school (winning awards, winning streak, civic role, etc.) as verifiable against reliable sources. Adding the names of team members, captains, or teachers is generally unsuitable (Wikipedia is not a directory particularly of non-notable names) – Zedla (talk) 02:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

This is the version being assessed
The editor  requested assessment of this article.
These are the B-Class criteria:
1. The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary. -  - The majority of the article is unreferenced including some contentious points. In addition some of the references link to pages that no longer exist.
2. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. -  - The article appears to cover the topic well, there are a few sections that could be added as per the WikiProject Schools article guidelines but they are more adding value, rather than their non-presence being an omission.
3. The article has a defined structure. -  - Although see above.
4. The article is reasonably well-written. -  - There is the odd grammatical/spelling mistake however on the whole the article is well-written. There are also a few areas of MOS non-compliance, e.g Several inline links. The full MOS can be found here: WP:MOS.
5. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. -  There is an info-box and a couple of photos. A plan showing the layout of the campus would be a nice (although not compulsory addition) along with some more photos to better illustrate the article.
6. The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way. - 
Overall I think this is a good, well-written article and I am therefore assessing it as "C/Low" . The referencing lets it down substantially and is currently keeping it at C-Class. To advance further (apart from referencing) the article could be expanded with more content as per WP:WPSCH/AG and the Extra-curricular section should be shortened and any award claims referenced with suitable 3rd party references. 
If you need any further clarification or help with the article or disagree with any part of my assessment, please contact me on my talk page. Thanks GlanisTalk 09:23, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
