Prod declined with addition of sources. Sources include two directory listings, a blog, and one non trivial news source. I don't know if that's enough to carry the article. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 04:19, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Although middle schools do not get the same pro-notability presumption as do high schools, I think this school probably passes WP:GNG. Has received press attention as the only middle school in the Los Angeles Unified School District (second largest district in the U.S.) practicing single-sex education. Also, as a part of Arquitectonica's Wilshire Vermont Station project located on Wilshire Boulevard, one of L.A.'s most iconic streets, it is probably a building of architectural significance. I added a Los Angeles Daily News article discussing the single-sex education experiment, as well as a Los Angeles Times article from 2007 about the architecture of the complex, and have started a reformat of the article per WP:MOS. Will look for more cites.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:23, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I have added another worthwhile source. Plenty of media coverage and enough to mark this one out from the general run of middle schools. TerriersFan (talk) 20:44, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Very few elementary/middle schools meet WP:GNG, but the article currently cites at least a couple of significant and reliable sources and therefore I think it is notable. PDCook (talk) 03:50, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
