Location - Name Change?

Prairie High School is actually in Vancouver, Washington, not Brush Prairie. It's not actually in the city limits of either, so maybe it would be better to rename the article to Prairie High School (Clark County, Washington), but the street address listed on the official website is the following:
11500 NE 117th AVE
Vancouver, WA 98662

It is also notable that, when entered into the USPS's ZIP Code Lookup page as:
11500 NE 117th AVE
Brush Prairie, WA

nothing is returned, but when the following is entered:
11500 NE 117th AVE
Vancouver, WA

a valid address is returned:
11500 NE 117TH AVE
VANCOUVER WA 98662-1534

In short, I believe the name of this article should be changed from Prairie High School (Brush Prairie, Washington) to Prairie High School (Vancouver, Washington) or even Prairie High School (Clark County, Washington), since the school is not actually in the city limits of Vancouver. If this carries any weight at all, I speak as a current student of this school.

The school is in 98662. If you pull it up on a zip code map, it is pretty much right in the center of 98662. And you are right, that zip code doesn't map back to Brush Prairie at the USPS zip->city site. So I agree, it would be a candidate for moving to (Vancouver, Washington) instead of (Brush Prairie, Washington). tedder (talk) 07:03, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
