Schools Start‑class Mid‑importance

	Schools portal This article is related to WikiProject Schools, a collaborative effort to write quality articles about schools around the world. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project page.SchoolsWikipedia:WikiProject SchoolsTemplate:WikiProject Schoolsschool articles
Start	This article has been rated as Start-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
Mid	This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.
	Reasoning for assessment: This article needs better formatting of its references using the footnote/in-line citation method: see Wikipedia:Citing sources Automatic minimum Mid importance due to consistently high rankings, including a Newsweek ranking of 58 in 2008 [2] The sources for 'Standardized testing statistics also need to be made much clearer. Consider looking at Category:GA-Class school articles and Category:FA-Class school articles for examples of relatively well-sourced school articles. --Jh12 (talk) 01:41, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Allegations of Discrimination towards non-honor students

I am a current student at this school and in the controversy section, there should be also allegations of discrimination of non-honors students. Why? Majority of the classes, even those found in other OC high schools, are reserved for the Troy Tech program, even classes such as Business Management basics, and the school only seems to emphasize everything for only the Tech programs or IB or Honors, whereas the "regular" students are basically put aside. There's no racism in this school, but there seems to be alot of social discrimination and unfair policies imposed on the non-honor students. I even spoke with a teacher and he claims that the reservation of the programs are also a controversy in the school boards, as the tech program is severely limiting what non-honors students can and cannot do.

Worst school?

There seems to be either vandalism or independent research in the introduction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.205.34.127 (talk) 14:23, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. Thanks for pointing it out. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 14:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NJROTC

I'd like to post a quick query on here: should Troy's NJROTC get its own article or be made as a section of Troy High School (California)? I have seen a couple other JROTC articles created separately from the high school page, so I'm not quite sure as to what to do. Right now, I'm leaning towards making it a section based on WP:N... Any comments? Or is there a different policy for paramilitary programs that I'm unaware of? Thanks. -- Havocrazy 05:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keeping it as part of Troy High School (California) would probably save a such-titled article from a speedy deletion. I'm not very sure on how far you can take "notability." Then again, many high school pages like these are just lists of achievements and programs. I'm having trouble locating such individual JROTC articles separate from their high school's pages. Can you name a few? And I doubt there is a different policy for paramilitary programs to this extent. If there is, then all pages would be individual or embedded. Then again, it could be worth a mention due to the visit to Nationals that happened in the 11-something month hiatus. MechStan (talk) 00:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update

PSST should not cannibalize the Troy High page with their history of board members. That is purely unethical. It is against Wikipedia policy to post information about an article topic of which you are affiliated. Should PSST want to post such, I suggest they start their own article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.86.33.3 (talk) 16:36, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The whole issue with Azia Kim probably warrants a mention in the page. [3] [4] [5] Maybe in the notable alumni section? Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 04:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There was a lot of press coverage surrounding the matter at that time, but mention of the issue in mainstream media is becoming extremely rare a few months after the initial "hype". I don't think the subject demonstrates long-term notability... +A.0u 23:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, whatever happened to CB Barrett? Class Of '81? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.203.11 (talk) 22:55, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Year of Founding

I was amused to see my edit reverted with the blithe and incorrect assertion that "1967 is the correct year" rather than 1964; if you would like to see some photos of my 1989 yearbook that says "25 years and it's worth it," I can supply them. Or perhaps you might like to take a look at http://troyhigh.com/alumni.htm, which notes that the Class of 1967 is having a reunion... how exactly can a school have a CLASS OF 1967 if it didn't even OPEN until 1967? 24.68.138.157 05:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Troy Tech Magnet Program Format

Is there anyway to make the prerequisite table not stretch that far (thus adding a horizontal scrollbar to the bottom of the page)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gloomfilter (talk • contribs)

I have re-formatted the section with the correct syntax. +A.0u 23:42, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Troylogo.PNG

Image:Troylogo.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Controversy section

I've deleted the controversy section; neither the Azia Kim item (see above) nor the asbestos concerns were sourced. References to each can be Googled, but as with the rationale above, it is a dubious proposition to suggest that either item, beyond temporary news coverage, demonstrates long-term notability.

I accept that with the notability that you are citing. But the newest article on the Controvery section about how Amy Long got shafted by that fascist VP D'Amelia has multiple sources. It is notable- the ACLU for crying out loud filed a amicus brief on her behalf against the school, and the sources speak for themselves. Roylucier (talk) 05:17, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
