Talk:Ranney School

"Public Relations?"

I live in the Tinton Falls area, and I was wondering if it would be appropraiate to write a section on Ranney's reputations and involvements in the community, like the fact that they have steak for lunch is often used by midddle-class people in the area to metaphor wealthier families, Ranney's community service things, SmartBoards, their new influxes of students due to private-school inferiority in Lincroft and Middletown, and comparisons to the highly wealthy demographic of the area, the attitude towards education,.... I'll be sure to keep it NPOV and all.

I doubt what you describe could be kept NPOV. You would be writing about the town's and people's opinions of Ranney. 72.79.104.44 15:04, 27 December 2006 (UTC) Ranney is a good school

  --You shouldn't put a public relations section on any school's page, for a very simple reason. It is open to repetitive bias. Personal opinions can easily get mixed in with the facts, which no good encyclopedia wants. And as an aside, you have no idea what you're talking about. Steak for lunch? That barely happens. Everything you mentioned is sheer bias, and you obviosly do not know enough to even think about creating a public relations section for this school. What you're talking about isn't public relations, it's slamming a school based on hearsay and opinions. (you should also learn to spell relations correctly)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.252.174.98 (talk) 22:59, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

kirsten dunst

kirsten dunst did indeed attend ranney high school, but did not graduate from there. i'm not sure if that makes her an alumni, but here's a citation.

• I have no problem with characterizing her as an alumna, which means that she attended the school, not that she's a graduate of the school. I have been able to find sources, including dotspotter.com, but none are particularly reliable sources. I will be more than happy to reinsert her listing once a reliable book, newspaper or magazine source can be identified. Alansohn (talk) 03:26, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Dress code

There appears to be some discontinuity in the rules pertaining to the dress code. Captain Gamma (talk) 20:43, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
