Article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NSCHOOL / (WP:ORGCRIT). Subject lacks WP:IS WP:RS WP:SIGCOV that address the subject directly and in-depth. BEFORE showed there is basic, run of the mill, routine, normal, coverage. Single source in article is not IS RS, it is a government database record. Looks like this is a wonderful school, but it does not have SIGCOV for N. // Timothy :: talk 02:01, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge:This article is two days old. It is a stub. I have found one independent reference in Rockvale High School. So references are out there if we make the right search- Rockvale High School is also a stub, merging would allow interested editors to work both article up. We could possible use some of our expertise to help them.--ClemRutter (talk) 12:28, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Middle Schools are almost never notable. There is no reason for merger. Articles about building schools are very common, which is why we came to accept that a large portion of high schools are notable. We have absolutely held the line against anything that is not a top level secondary school, so this article should be deleted with maximum speed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:47, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - to Rutherford County Schools (Tennessee). According to WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, what we've historically done in this situation is to redirect the lower school to the district. As redirects are cheap and serve a legitimate indexing function, and since WP:ATD is a policy, I see no reason not to do that here. 174.254.193.114 (talk) 11:11, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Rutherford County Schools (Tennessee). Not enough independent in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 19:30, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nom Comment: I have no objections to a redirect. // Timothy :: talk 22:12, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Rutherford County Schools (Tennessee). As I see zero reason not to redirect this. It's clear there is not enough sources out there for it to pass WP:GNG though. --Adamant1 (talk) 02:20, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Adamant1, TimothyBlue: It's within policy and would save a lot of editor time and stress if when you find US elementary school and middle school articles that fail notability you'd simply BOLDly redirect them to the school district's article (or lacking an article on the district, the appropriate settlement article). If you get pushback, then bring it to AFD. If you do that, please add {{r from school}} to the redirect. That template will automatically handle fixing the talk page and adding it to appropriate lists and cats. 174.254.192.246 (talk) 22:35, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
