removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:40, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Overpopulation section

Finding it hard to incorporate/check the history on this unsourced section, moving it here for now.

Overpopulation

Rapid growth from infill developments in the farms bordering Peoria High School, master planned communities being built to the south, and students moving into the bordering Youngtown area caused a major spike in Peoria High School's enrollment. Between 2000 and 2004, a new building complex was constructed, and students were eating during three lunch periods. During the 2003-2004 school year, the school hit a peak in its student population, in the low 3,000s, and also welcomed the district's largest freshman class, with more than 900 new students. The school was ranked as 5A, at the time the largest Arizona Interscholastic Association classification, and was the third largest high school in the state. The school was also in need of major renovations.

A reliever high school was finally constructed, and Raymond S. Kellis High School (in Glendale city limits) was opened for the 2004-2005 school year. The new high school is located in the city limits of Glendale, approximately 3 miles south of Peoria High. This relieved most of the rapidly expanding areas from Peoria High, including all of Country Meadows Elementary and Cotton Boll Elementary, and most of Sun Valley Elementary students. This also gave Alta Loma Elementary students a choice to attend either Peoria or Kellis and Ira A. Murphy Elementary students a choice to attend either Peoria or Centennial. Due to the opening of Kellis, the number of students enrolled at Peoria has rapidly declined over the years to its current number in the 1,600s.
