It's pretty baffling to me that UC teeters between 1 and 2A and not 2 and 3A like Westview. Just seems like Union City is every bit the size of Martin.

Think it's baffling to everyone.

It befuddles me how some of these towns (cities?) that have department stores, chain restaurants & fast food, and general populations in the thousands can comfortably be back and forth between 1A/2AA enrollment numbers, as we are bursting at the seams with students and turning them away because we are 10% over capacity, while being located in the middle of a cornfield fifteen miles from the nearest red light.

I'm thinking UC has TSSAA connections.

I'm not pointing fingers or throwing around accusations, just trying to reason it out somehow, but nothing adds up.

Now that's a thinker. And don't forget major hotel chains

Sounds like y'all need another high school in Henderson County. Doesn't Lexington have capacity issues as well?

I mean think about what you said. If you are in the cornfield and no schools around everyone has to go there . I’ve been told by people in the area they would rather send their kids to obion county. Obion county has lots of students and it’s only a few miles away from the union city high school.

I said no towns (other than a gas station/post office/diner) around, not schools...Lexington is 15 miles, Riverside is 9, and Chester Co. is 19. Split the difference (halfway point) between other schools and our sparsely populated area isn't very big.

No, Lexington is well within their capacity...not seriously low, but not exactly full. Funny thing is that our overall student population countywide has not deviated over 50 students above/below 4,000 in the last 15 years.

I think that’s good in theory, but the hard thing to ignore is Obion’s student population is actually getting smaller. Over the last 4 classifications it’s gotten smaller every time:

2012: 935   2016: 900   2020: 762   2022: 751

So it’s kinda hard for everyone to understand how this thriving city is losing kids, and blaming it on the county school, while the county school is also losing kids.

Interesting makes union city look even more sketchy.

 According to Google, one town has 10500 town has 10400 give or take a few

And I'd assume UT Martins students are being counted as well
