High	This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.
	Reasoning for assessment: More information is needed about different aspects of the school and the information provided needs to be refined (pictures would help). The article has more substance than a stub so I gave it a rating of "start" class, and as it is a member of the Ivy Preparatory School League, I gave it a "high" importance rating.

Outstanding Bias

This article reads more like a marketing pitch than an encyclopedic entry. Fltchr 03:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Time to do some chopping.

Annoying writing

Does every sentence need a colon in it?

Media

I found this page after seeing this video; http://youtube.com/watch?v=BF4YdyUeSIk# A godawful cover of smells like teen spirit, allegedly from this school. Can it get a mention? It's just legendary.

Notable Alumni

So many of the people listed under the "alumni" section do not seem to meet WP:notability requirements. They do not have their own pages, as seen as the large amount of red links in this section. I think the Alumni area definitely needs some trimming to remove those people that nobody, even at Hackley itself (I am speaking as a former student and an alumna myself) has heard of. And while we're at it, students need to stop vandalizing the page to add/make comments about people at the school! Summerhawk (talk) 21:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just wiped the whole thing. Feel free to add them back with a source for each. --- RockMFR 22:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alumni

Some of the alumni seem factually incorrect. Tim Tebow definitely didn't go to school here, and George Hamilton seems dubious (his own page implies Palm Beach High School), but one linked citation does say it was indeed Hackley School. Can someone clear this up? Any checks on the other alumni would be appreciated too. 72.205.17.184 (talk) 05:22, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
