Talk:The Pembroke Hill School

message: The article includes the statement that "The school boasts an acceptance rate of approximately 66 percent."[1]  Could someone clarify?  Does this mean the school accepts 66% of applicants, or that 66% of its students are accepted to college, etc (probably not the latter due to "usually matriculates..." in the next paragraph.)  Why is this a "boast"?  The citation is to Peterson's Guide to Private Secondary Schools..but I don't have access to that publication.  Thanks!  --Josh Powell (talk) 23:04, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This has been fixed. The school accepts 66% of applicants. Its college acceptance rate has been 100% for years. The word "boast" has been changed, per WP:ADVERT. 65.28.9.8 (talk) 13:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Acceptance Rate? 

message: I question the neutrality of the statement "unreported in order to preserve academic image" with regard to the average SAT score (on the side bar). I don't doubt that there may truth to it, but I do doubt that that is the school's official response.
I agree. The person who had written that seems to be a current student at PHS, and put false information in the "notable alumni" portion (Homayon Ghassemi, according to a Google search, was a stduent at PHS last year, and is not a "Renowned Classical Scholar"). I have reverted the information and removed the NPOV notice. 134.193.105.140 15:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Pembrokehill.JPG

message: User 64.218.107.110 has been blanking the information about the 1997, 1998, and 1999 state basketball championships (and the resulting nationally-publicized scandal), as well as the information about the infamous 1988 "High School on Easy Street" article.  All of that information is relevant to the subject of the Pembroke Hill School, comes from reliable sources which are accurately cited, and is not original research.  Blanking that information simply because it is not flattering to the Pembroke Hill School violates Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. 64.218.107.110 (talk) 17:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
