Notability of this school

The article has been recently changed to a redirect page on the basis of being a non-notable school as per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. When reviewing that essay (not a guideline), it suggests that the Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) notability guideline should be followed, and only if the middle-school is not notable, then it should get merged or redirected. Therefore, the only question here is whether this school is notable as per WP:ORG guideline. As per WP:NSCHOOL contains in that guideline, we can either use general notability guideline or the guideline contained in WP:ORG, or both. This article uses the WP:ORG to establish notability. In the WP:ORG we can either use the primary criteria or alternate criteria. In this case, we use the alternate criteria which the school has to satisfy both:

The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.
Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple, third-party, independent, reliable sources.

When considering the scale, the consideration should be given to "the organization’s longevity, size of membership, major achievements, prominent scandals, or other factors specific to the organization." Those are some of factors that can help demonstrate whether the scope of school activities is national.

Below are the references that can be used to confirm that this school meet both #1 and #2. Each of which uses the major achievement at national scale as the justification to meet #1, and the references are from independent and reliable sources.

FemGineers program of the school was on the '20 to Watch' of 2013 by the National School Boards Association [1]
School was highlighted in the Magna Awards by American School Board Journal [2][3]
Major accomplishments in national competitions: TSA National Conference and Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science (TEAMS) National Ranking

Please discuss if the above items don't establish notability of this school. Z22 (talk) 01:36, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
