You're correct, there could be other reasons in some cases, but in these, I do know the story. The above families I mentioned, are friends of mine, and that was the reason what I was told by them. It is what it is. It's not out of the realm of possibility that students transfer just to play sports. In one instance it only lasted a year, and another instance 2 years, then they were back at Campbell County. Missing friends, and lack of AP classes offered became more important than playing sports is what I was told. The other stayed the entire four years, and played two sports....... As well, I doesn't matter to me what people choose to do. You do what you think is best for your child, who am I to judge you.
