Oldtimers: is the school struggle just par for the course, or does it represent an emerging and deepening _lack_ of consensus on important issues?
Hmmm ... from a cynic's point of view it is a fairly harmless outlet for negative vibes.
Look at it this way: how important is a school page _as reference information_? Not that important, in that it will matter to few people who will have no other way of getting information. (Information about a school might matter greatly to a parent, but WP can hardly expect to satisfy parental requirements on that.)
To take another example, also marginal, postcodes: WP might actually be helpful to those who want reference information about a specific postcode, and who didn't have another easy source. And to be able to satisfy someone's immediate need, by giving the geography.
In short, WP can't do a particularly good job as a reference on a particular school - education is more complex than (say) public transport. For an average school, the pages we can have typically do not add or detract much from the encyclopedia. People who want to make a point of principle are looking at an unpromising issue there.
