My birthday falls on the 24th and I went to West Bend West. A Friend of mine, who was born on the same day and same year, went to West Bend East. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.139.193.12 (talk)

I don't think the birthday thing is correct. When I attended WBE, I believe the assignment was determined by your home address. Odd addresses went to East, even addresses went to West. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.210.184.68 (talk)

Well, then it's been changed. They've always held on to the "family loyalty" thing. Originally it was random, then birthdate (dumb), then modified birthdate (really dumb), after that, I left the WB. I don't know what it is now. 69.241.227.98 20:35, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

West Bend West High School pretty much just says it is part of West Bend high schools, a single building housing the East and West high schools. --Midnightcomm 04:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have been bold and done the merger. My reasons are: the merge tags have been there for a long time and no objections were raised on a merge, the West schools article state made it eligible for speedy deletion, and as it was a merge with no loss of information it did not need to go through AFD.

Assessment[edit]

I am assessing this article for WikiProject Schools as Stub / Low. A potentially interesting article about two double schools. References are needed to verify content and more information is needed on the schools - such as history (why are they divided?), curriculum and facilities. Some pictures and an info-box would also be good. I am giving this article "Mid" importance due to the unique setup and school selection system of the schools.

School Selection[edit]

I can confirm with out a doubt that Students are selected to go to East if born on even day and west if born on an odd day. Unless of course you have a sibiling that went there. I know this because it is my home town and was my HS before i graduated. NOTE: I am too lazy to log in.

Move, rewrite[edit]

I moved the article and rewrote it to be about the entire district, not just the two high schools. While I think that high schools generally are notable enough to have their own articles, the unique case here makes it better to have one article as others have suggested. --Baron Larf 18:00, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
