I've said it before and I'll say it again - we need to think about maintainability in a concrete sense as well as "notability" in an abstract one. If an article is going to need maintenance, but it isn't going to get it, it becomes a net liability to the project...
If maintenance is the problem, it would seem that tools like semi-protection would be more useful than deletion. If an article (school or not) is clearly poorly monitored, and is prone to receiving damaging vandalism (especially of the BLP/personal attack variety), I wouldn't be at all opposed to semi-protection in that case.
That's a policy that I would find more acceptable than deletion or generally merging.. Still those two criteria should both be met first: poor maintence AND recurring vandalism.
