I would have supported a delete (considering that it doesn't belong to any school district that I could potentially merge it to); however, this school has recently been the subject of financial struggles, an unusual decline in pass rates, and a corruption scandal. Presently, this article covers none of these issues, but I believe that if we can start from scratch, then I foresee that an article about this high school would not be too out of sight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiWarrior9919 (talk • contribs) 17:06, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The subject of the article is notable, the references were embedded in the text. I have followed them and added two references. Zimsec is an easyway to judge notability. Care should be taken to differentiate it from the identically named school in joburg. ClemRutter (talk) 10:47, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm not a fan of keeping school articles, but this one does seem to meet GNG. Jerod Lycett (talk) 19:20, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

comment I was under the impression that all secondary schools both in the United States of North America and the UK were ipso facto notable; why should this not apply to a Zimbabwean school?TheLongTone (talk) 16:39, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When high school articles first started getting written in 2003, they were typically US high schools that had press coverage, and notablity was never really in quesrion. Few thought about the fact that 17 years later people would be writing articles about high schools in Zimbabwe or India where even showing the schools exists using online sources could be a problem in some cases. But that's not an issue here.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 20:15, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as has reliable sources coverage, the RfC was very controversial with a forced consensus by committee that is opposed by many editors, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 17:36, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and improve: seems to pass WP:GNG, especially in the light of sources raised in this AfD discussion. --Slashme (talk) 10:06, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Notability esablished.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 20:15, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
