I think that even "fringe" areas will see some increase in student population, and most of it will occur in rural areas. Let's be frank...families with no ties moving in will avoid Memphis and its surrounding area in favor of quieter and safer neighborhoods with better schools. Yes. Most likely a new public school will be built eventually such as happened in Medina. It is not a short commute from Brownsville to the Ford's area. Much further than most parents would want to make twice a day on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could have been competitive these least few years. Unfortunately, we will never know. However, in my opinion, you back out or run you get the “L” in an IFL matchup….

My kids all went to Covington High, which is 17 miles from our home. When you live in the country, you don’t expect things to be right next door. That’s one of the reasons people live in the country. We like the “elbow room”. I agree that there will probably be a new school sooner or later, but people can and do commute that far all the time.

Our enrollment puts us dead in the middle of Class 4A, which runs from about 762-1115 students. Betsy is at 860, so a little below the halfway mark. While Anderson County is currently the largest 4A school at 1114 or so students, and will probably NEVER end up at the 3A level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSSAA also has an argument that Tennessee is growing in number so we would eventually need to expand back to 6A. I definitely think they should go to two classifications for private school Beyond the growth, does anyone on here think for a minute that the TSSAA would cut back the number of classes knowing it would cut back their playoff revenue?! Follow the money trail. It’s that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only care about lining their very own pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
