The WikiProject Schools pages will help you to make excellent school articles. The project covers all articles about schools, school districts, and related articles such as school, as well as institutions that use college or academy as part of their name, but are actually primary or secondary schools. It also includes further education schools and sixth form colleges, and vocational and job schools that do not award recognised degrees in their own right.Recognised degrees are generally bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees. This project includes polytechnics and vocational colleges that do not award degrees or which are affiliated to universities who issue the degree on their behalf. Colleges, universities, and other organisations that are authorised to issue their own degrees are covered by WikiProject Higher education.

Project goals

This project aims to improve the quality of school-related articles. Articles within the scope of this project should become far more substantial than stubs, and ultimately match the quality of featured articles.

By their nature, school articles are often targets for vandalism and promotional claims. Editors are asked to be as helpful as possible in removing irrelevant, inappropriate, or unsourced content.

Article guidelines and notability

Guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines demonstrate what school articles should contain, and provide a recommended common page structure. These guidelines offer advice that editors are encouraged to follow.

Article grading

School articles are graded for quality based on the Assessment scale and for importance using the Release Version Criteria scale. For further information, visit the Assessment department.
