Talk:Birmingham High School

2007 Filming

The show filmed in 2007 was "America's Most Smartest Model", not "America's Next Top Model". This is based on personal information, since it was filmed in the room next to my room. S. Schaffter 06:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

History contradiction

In the introduction, it says the school opened in 1953 as a combined junior/senior high school. Then, in the History section it states that it opened in 1953 as a junior high only, expanding to a 6-year campus in 1956. Which is it? Agershon (talk) 18:51, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Major Deletion?

Um, what happened here? The whole of the history and academics sections have been deleted from the page, while pop culture was left intact. Just some vandalism? Probably, but I'm not sure how to revert things, and it seems to have happened over a couple separate edits. Thanks to whoever fixes it or can tell me what happened.

Letter to the editor?

• "Birmingham High." Los Angeles Times. February 18, 1996.

This looks like it was written by Gerald D. Kleinman, the principal. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:12, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

1992 stabbing

There was a stabbing in 1992 but I don't know if it would be undue to include it. The person didn't die.

I think it should be included since there are other school-related incidents that are presented in the article of said school that weren't fatal (such as the Miguel Contreras Learning Complex stabbing), so I think it would be notable to add in the 92' stabbing since it would be considered as a significant event in the history of the school and would also be a semi-vital part to include in this article.

Are you people serious? Birmingham HS used to be to crown jewel of la education, I should know, I graduated in 73, and am now a very successful engineer in semiconductor industries, I've traveled the world. This was all due to excellent education, teachers and mentors,

Amestoy Estates

Should it be necessary to still add that Birmingham serves Amestoy Estates? Amestoy Estates isn't a separate neighborhood, it's part of Encino. So I don't see why it's necessary to add in that Birmingham serves Amestoy Estates, an estate located in Encino, when you also have in the article that Birmingham serves "parts of Encino" as well.
