Have you looked for Arabic sources? Lorstaking (talk) 05:23, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Arabic Wikipedia article cites only this source [1] which is the only place that I found any articles about the school itself.

All articles I found:

1. [2] talks about a programming event that happened at the school.

2. [3] talks about how a worker at the school continued his education.

3. [4] talks in passing about virtual learning at the school.

4. [5] talks about ceremony with Chinese team at the school.

5. [6] Talks about the restoration of the school after the war by UNICEF

It seems like the school was in the news for some events but not enough to demonstrate notability 2620:6E:6000:3100:B42A:8CC:2EBD:B38D (talk) 23:16, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per response to my comment above. Lorstaking (talk) 06:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would also recommend deleting Al Basil High School for Superiors which talks about a similar school but in a different city. It has the same issues with notability 2620:6E:6000:3100:FC1E:F8AA:F362:87DB (talk) 19:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and Lorstaking fails WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 07:01, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We've got plenty of coverage of the school and the activities associated with it. This includes a SANA piece from about a month ago, another number of stories from 2023 about the school's academic performance, more 2023 coverage from SANA, 2022 coverage from al-Binaa, a full-length piece about the school from Al-Ouruba, and some more mundane coverage of solar power and the school. In short, I think that we have multiple independent sources that are reliable (as far as covering an elite high school is concerned), and as such this school passes WP:NSCHOOL via the WP:GNG. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 05:50, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All the articles you linked talk about another school. They are talking about "First Al-Bassel school" in Homs. The wiki article in question is specifically about the Aleppo one.

They are both in same series of school: "مدارس المتفوقين" or "schools for outstanding students" and identically named(after the president's brother). But they are completely different schools.

For example: Al Basil High School for Superiors has the same name but it is located in As-Suwayda. (the article has the same issues with notability)

Relisting comment: Analysis of the additional suggested reference material would be quite helpful.
