subdivision into four academies

The article claimed that the subdivision into four academies was due to high crime. This assertion has been moved here pending a source citation. Vonfraginoff 23:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Establishment date?

Was it 1917 or 1919? Or something else? j-beda 16:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Fred Sherman

The new article on Fred Sherman says he graduated from Washington Heights High School. Is there such a school, or is it really George Washington High School? If it is GWHS, please update the Fred Sherman article. --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:10, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Violence in 1970

This article gives very little history about the school. Firebombing and parent takeover should be mentioned. NYT, 14 March 1970. YoPienso (talk) 08:25, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Check out the Washington Heights, Manhattan page under the "School Conflicts" section in History, I put a brief summary of some of the stuff that went down. Should I copy it over and expand it? The Spirit of Oohoowahoo (talk) 14:45, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes, please! YoPienso (talk) 23:50, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Alright take a look at what I added, let me know if you think any more changes are necessary. The Spirit of Oohoowahoo (talk) 22:35, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! That's much better. YoPienso (talk) 23:02, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
