• Keep: per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES#2. On second thought, my arguments are better than this potentially controversial/outdated appeal to precedent.

Here's some SIGCOV in news sites with editorial boards, not yet shown to be unreliable.[https://archive.nagariknews.com/2010/archive/16931-2010-08-13-06-10-59.html 10 (not sigcov but not mere mention)][http://eanumodan.com/?p=1133 11][http://anumodankhabar.com/?p=1263 12]

:tldr: It's a community school that's real enough, big enough, potentially historically significant due to its age, covered enough for a third world school far away from the capital city. We should keep it. Regards! Usedtobecool ^TALK ✨ 07:48, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

• Keep: per the excellent rationale by {{U|Usedtobecool}}, and based on very long standing precedent for government high schools. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:05, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
• Keep: A notable school. More references can be added to support its notability. Doingitgimpy (talk) 07:48, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
