[edit]

For comparison, you may want to look at Plano Senior High School, which is a featured article.

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    a) Prose. It's a little listy in places, but this is a pass.
    b) MOS.
    • The lists themselves are a problem; see WP:EMBED. I think the two football players could be handled by a prose paragraph, since their notability is so similar. Adding the baseball player to that paragraph should be easy, since that's also sports. The sexual battery charge probably warrants a paragraph of its own; and I would suggest just cutting the teacher -- best teacher in the county is probably not enough for Wikipedia notability. This is not necessary for GA but would, I think, improve the article.
    • The lead (see WP:LEAD) doesn't mention the notable alumni/staff. A brief sentence would suffice.
    • There are a couple of places where you need to add "as of 2008": look through for places where the prose would not make sense in 2010, or 2050, and make sure that you either give the comment a date for context, or rephrase it. For example, the bands "have consistently ranked among the top bands in the state of Florida for several years" needs to be dealt with.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    a) references
    b) Reliable sources.
    c) No original research.
    • Pass
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    a) Major aspects: Pass. Take a look at Plano Senior High School for an example of thorough coverage of history; admittedly this school has far less history to cover, but if you would like to go on to FA I think it would be good to try to find the sort of sources the Plano article cites.
  • Yeah, I'd like to find some better sources, but our school's website doesn't seem to give as much information about the history of the school as PSHS's website does, and many of the reporters for the local media are biased; most of them that have any interest in a CCPS school are CHS tarpon alumni (which sucks royally).

  1. b) Focused: Pass.
  2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  3. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
  4. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    a) Tagged and fair use.
    • The small pirate image in the infobox is tagged as problematic; can you clean up the image tag please?
  • This has been fixed.
    • The certificate has the name incompletely erased; it was easy to make it out. I would suggest you either leave the name in, with permission from the owner of the certificate, or else delete it more thoroughly. Either way this is not a GA requirement, just a suggestion.
    b) Appropriate; suitable captions.
    • Unfortunately the infobox image is a bit blurry; I won't fail GA for that, but surely a better picture is possible. The caption is also a problem; it makes sense to those who know the slogan, but not to anyone else. It needs to be blandly descriptive.
  2. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
