March 19, 201016 yr I would presume by your name that that was true for all of your children for college too? No just elementary and secondary school . For College the two oldest graduated from Thomas More ,and the Attorney went to the University of Kentucky College of Law , The youngest attended NKU . As they were adults they chose where to go to college .
March 21, 201016 yr How about reciprocal agreement between Highlands and Dayton ? Kids are going to Highlands for football.
March 26, 201016 yr I just want to throw it out there that the majority of schools in Northern Kentucky are fine academic institutions. Don't believe me? Check the US News and World Report list of the Gold, Silver, and Bronze award winners for the best schools in the nation. You might be surprised to see a little river school pop up on the list.
March 27, 201016 yr I, too, brother, have lived in Louisville my whole life. The bottom line is that the boundaries that private schools have, which are none, are extremely larger, different, and in most cases, don't even exist. In public schools, that is not the case. The public schools in Kentucky and the private schools in Kentucky, are in fact, two different animals. For the purposes of athletics, not education or educational choice, or family autonomy, they are two seperate animals. Yet compete for the same trophy. 39 other states have recognized this and have complete or partial seperation for championship play (i.e. the playoffs). Why doesn't Kentucky? And 48 other states classify basketball by school size, do you want that too??
March 31, 201016 yr And 48 other states classify basketball by school size, do you want that too?? No. I never said that. I never said anything about the classification system. Never mentioned it. Read again. The public/private issue is not a classification issue. I'm sure you know in the state of Kentucky the only sport that is classified is football.
March 31, 201016 yr No. I never said that. I never said anything about the classification system. Never mentioned it. Read again. The public/private issue is not a classification issue. I'm sure you know in the state of Kentucky the only sport that is classified is football. That is not true.

I'm sure you know in the state of Kentucky the only sport that is classified is football. Actually, track and cross country are as well.
April 5, 201016 yr HHS and Beechwood are not private schools but public and two of the best public in academics in the entire Commonwealth. So why are you and futruecoach so positive, that kids and their parents don't look at both sides (academics and athletics) in picking where their child attends HS? I guess both of you are from the only good jock, is a dumb jock school of thought! If they don't have the grades they won't play college sports and honestly, unless your child is an elite athletic (and most are not), the chances of getting a "full College Scholarship" are slim and none. So why not take the high road and get a great education for your child, while he is playing sports at a great school! BTW how many kids from HHS best football team ever, received "100% paid full scholarships"? I honestly don't know but my guess is maybe only one, two at the most, but all of those kids received a great HS education and will be able to attend college! Well said. BTW, at the current time, the majority of tuition students in the high school at Beechwood are in the band. There are a lot of great reasons to be a tuition student at Beechwood and Highlands.
April 5, 201016 yr How about reciprocal agreement between Highlands and Dayton ? Kids are going to Highlands for football. Who??? I know of one from 2 or 3 years ago..:confused:
April 21, 201016 yr You need to educate yourself regarding the "district question" in Jeff Co. You're way off.
May 20, 201016 yr No, but in ten years in Ohio, he didn't win any.The point being that while he had things going in the right direction, he never won the biggest prize in the Buckeye state. I am certain that was his goal. I am just staying with the theme of the thread and that is public/private debate. It is just a fact that all of the right pieces have to be together to win a state championship-coaching, parental support, great, teachable kids, and more often than not a couple of good kids from what most people would consider "out of district". In Northern Kentucky, where that happens often is Highlands, CCH (yes-I know there are no boundries-an obvious, undeniable advantage), and Beechwood.[/QUOT I agree with100 with you, there is an advantage in attending these schools. You are are taking atletes out of other schools from surrounding areas that should be attending other schools. Academics is not the only reaason kids choose to enroll, athletis plays a part as well.
May 20, 201016 yr Well said. BTW, at the current time, the majority of tuition students in the high school at Beechwood are in the band. There are a lot of great reasons to be a tuition student at Beechwood and Highlands. 1236545487
October 19, 201015 yr I know that after I had 3 kids go through NCC for 12 straight years and spending close $50,0000 I felt a whole lot richer:popcorn: Geez!! I only had one daughter go thru NCC for 4 yrs and it cost me the same amount as your 3. It must have been that Ft Thomas discount they offer. LOL
October 19, 201015 yr Geez!! I only had one daughter go thru NCC for 4 yrs and it cost me the same amount as your 3. It must have been that Ft Thomas discount they offer. LOL:ylsuper:
October 21, 201015 yr How much does it cost to go to Highlands or Beechwood, when you live outside the city? Edited October 21, 201015 yr by Birdsfan Rule 13
