I've listed this article for peer review because this article underwent a copyedit and sources were added to the article. It is possible this might be a GAN one day. It wouldn't hurt if a peer review was done to evaluate the article in general.

Comments from Z1720

Comments after a quick skim:

Per WP:LEDECITE, citations are not generally necessary in the lede because the information should be in the body of the article. The lede should be a summary of the rest of the article.
The history section needs a lot more information, especially about pre-1968 information. When was it founded? When was the campus built?
Campus and history should be separated, so history gets its own level 2 headings.
"To create a more personalized atmosphere," This is an example of promotional language and shouldn't be in the article. I suggest removing this an anything similar to this. For more information, see WP:NPOV.
Most of the Co and extracurricular activities are not notable because they can be found at most schools. Same with Interscholastic sports. I suggest making this into prose instead of a list.
Every notable alumni needs a citation.

For a template of how the article can be formatted, see Amador Valley High School, a featured article on Wikipedia. Z1720 (talk) 01:41, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Z1720, in regards to what you have said, I have done the following so far:

Included the year the school opened, and how it was originally known as Woodrow Wilson Memorial High School
Made the history section a level 2 heading
Removed "To create a more personalized atmosphere" from the Academics section.

I still do have questions though. You mentioned how there are some co and extracurricular activities that are non-notable. Which of these activities do you think I should remove? The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 02:14, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@The Cadillac Ranger: Remove all extracurriculars that are not talked about in reliable, independent secondary sources. Z1720 (talk) 02:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
