Keep - There is a lot for this one. Some key publications might be this: [1] an academic paper specifically about the school. Also this on specialised STEM schools: [2]. Then there is this book on engineering education: [3]. It doesn't stop there either. Loads of mentions in the Virginia Junior Academy Science awards, newspapers, school directories etc. These are all primary but sustained coverage. There are mentions in other books too. Some passing (like the eductaor who wrote a book but discusses this as his former school). But the academic papers above alone are a GNG pass. Significant mentions in multiple reliable independent secondary sources. This is a very clear keep. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:22, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Sirfurboy, thank you for the time you took out to search and find these sources. I didn’t see ‘Sage Journals’ on this list of approved sources by Wikipedia. Nor did I see a need for 1/18 magnet schools in this specific geographical location to have its own dedicated page. Aside from that i respect your 18+ years experience here on the encyclopedia & i value your opinion and factual bases for your Keep vote. Thank you again .

Thanks. Which list were you looking on? This page is a bit out of date but see Sage Publishing on there: Rankings of academic publishers. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 16:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I use this list > WP:RSPSOURCES I wasn’t aware of the list you linked above when i was doing my credible source search. I will refer to it from here on out. Thank you again. Elvisisalive95 (talk) 16:46, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, that is a useful but (as it says) non exhaustive list of sources that come up frequently. Most academic journals and publishers are not on that list, because there is never much debate over them. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 16:50, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Makes complete sense, honestly i appreciate you linking it because i love to learn more and more about editing on here. I hope you have an amazing week! Elvisisalive95 (talk) 17:01, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets the general notability guideline with the sources in the article and provided by Sirfurboy🏄. Jacona (talk) 17:39, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
