NPOV[edit]

The article almost reads like a brochure for the school with phrases including:

"...Hoosac School offers a very intimate learning experience."
"There are a number of unusual courses which a student can take including Astronomy and environmental science." (In my experience those classes aren't that unusual.)
"Hoosac School has a 100% college acceptance rate among graduating seniors." (No reference for this statement, currently.)
"The dining hall overlooks the rolling hillside..."

I'm sure there are many more parts of the article which resemble a brochure, but these were the ones that jumped out the most. Duchess of Bathwick (talk · contribs) 06:41, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the latest revisions of the article, and it's a major improvement on the POV of the article. Very little, if any, is left to change. I'll remove the NPOV notice on the article. Duchess of Bathwick (talk · contribs) 21:10, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Astronomy Dome?[edit]

The facilities section mentions "an astronomy dome" which I assume means either a telescope or a planetarium. I'm not sure which, because the source cited seems to be a broken link. A link to the telescope or planetarium article would probably be appropriate once this is addressed. Arecaceæ2011 (talk) 01:37, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
