Namesake?

Robert S. Farrell, Jr.

I'm wondering if despite it being incorrectly listed everywhere without a period after the initial, if we could move the article to Robert S. Farrell High School? It's driving me crazy. Same with William P Lord High School-->William P. Lord High School after William Paine Lord. Katr67 (talk) 07:20, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. Move away, let me know if you need a mop brought in for any reason. It's the curse of the data source I was using for the grad rates. tedder (talk) 07:24, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, now I can sleep. :) Katr67 (talk) 07:55, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coords

Um, looks like the coordinates are plotting out to the now closed Fairview Training Center that is down the street... I'll see if I can find a better set. --Trashbag (talk) 22:32, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinates now updated.--Trashbag (talk) 15:37, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coat rack

I've removed this section for now because it makes the article into a bit of a coat rack. It's a correctional school so you wouldn't necessarily expect a high graduation rate, do devoting so much if an article to that overbalances the whole thing. Unfortunately a problem with school articles is that there is often so little to write about them.

Academics

In 2008, 6% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 79 students, 5 graduated, 36 dropped out, and 38 are still in high school.^[1]^[2]

I don't particularly care about including this info but when @Tedder: wrote an article on every high school in Oregon, he included this info in all of them so it *is* at least consistent across the Oregon articles. Valfontis (talk) 00:41, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed- it'd be good data if it was done every once in a while. It's sort of like if only one census was included- it's much better with more context. tedder (talk) 05:52, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
