It's not inaccurate, that's the rule. If you think Barbe is cheating turn them in. 24.99% they are non-select, 25.01% they are select. Prove that more than 25% come from out of district. Byrd has more than 25% from outside if their neighborhood district and they are playing in Select. And no on Vermillion, a private school is automatically select. That's the rule. Couple years old but I would think the numbers now are pretty close... www.americanpress.com/Calcasieu-has-more-than-4600-out-of-zone-studentsDo the math. They have less than 2000 total students, more than 500 of whom are from out of zone. Not only are they non-select, but they have voted pro split every time - the epitome of hypocritical... Nevermind...there's a table... Barbe 502/1798 27.9% There are a lot of people in Calcasieu parish that would love to see Barbe moved to Select. They have a dominance in 5A baseball that surpasses any private school in this state.

But we also need to realize that real population and LHSAA population are two different numbers for public schools. The total number of students for funding are always more than what is reported to the LHSAA. There is no cross reference from what is reported to the LHSAA and the State Office of Financial Affairs. Occasionally we will hear of ghost students at some high schools on the financial list. Maybe the LHSAA should use those numbers instead of a different tally.

Is there an inherent advantage to being able to get students from multiple areas or attendance zones? YES
Is there an inherent disadvantage to being locked into a single area to attract students while other schools can attract students from your area? YES
Is there an inherent advantage in being able to select or reject students attending your school? YES
Is there an inherent advantage in being able to dismiss students in your school when you deem such action necessary? Possibly
Is there an inherent advantage in not having to provide a full menu of services, whether social or educational? YES
Is there an inherent advantage in not having to adhere to state mandates or administer state mandated testing? YES

If you are saying that just to strengthen your point, you are a liar. You choose You can't call names around here. Or even suggest that maybe you might be calling a name. People get all sensitive and report you for it. Then you get warnings and such. It's silly, I know. But I'm just informing you of how it is. So, on to what you said. You were shot down with this nonsense on another thread. I guess I could go and copy/paste (like you did all those points) the other users answer if need be. You trying to tell me how I'm a moron is a hoot though. My point is and has always been that any advantage private schools have because of how they accept students is only there because of the way public schools choose to get their kids. Open up enrollment across the board, if you really think that's the issue. 2nd point is that none of this is about a level playing field, it's about money.

a district is whatever the school board says it is... won't work Dual enrollment is a separate issue. Big Boob has a mantra of deny enrollment as an advantage, yet public schools deny enrollment more than private schools. Private schools can only accept a student who asks to attend and then that student has to meet a prescribed criteria. If that criteria is met, the private school cannot deny them enrollment unless there is no physical room for the student. While some elementary schools have waiting list, no high schools have waiting list. Public schools have laws that force kids to attend them, yet many kids are denied acceptance and entrance in the better public schools. They do not accept them all but select their enrollment. Dual enrollment, Lafayette High has 2500 students, the rule requires 25% of population to come from out of district. That means that there has to be 625 out of zone students at Lafayette High. Northside has enrollment of 850, If the academy at Northside brings in 213 students they are forced into select. How fair is that rule? 625 students is the size of a small 4A, large 3A school. Lafayette High could lose 1,000 students and still be larger than Acadiana High. Love how you just come up with numbers. Also if you get your source from the advertiser good luck. LHS has 480 out of zone/dual en. and mainly from northside bc they are a failing school and we HAVE to take any and all students from there. The rest of the academies are on a lottery system(Health/arts). Most of those kids that are excepted are gifted trumpet(band kids) players. This school is set up as a flagship for the arts programs, and central office could care less about the athletics at that school. also, its 2399 students as of this morning. Was 2403 last week. The school loses dozens from expulsions frequently. I dont think you want to talk about the demographics at this school. You're def not brave enough to go there. A parent from STM wants to talk about fairness of enrollment issues? I almost fell on the floor laughing at that this morning. I do appreciate your efforts though.

If you can control your enrollment you have a HUGE inherent advantage.

I just hope he's not a faculty advisor for any debate team, those poor kids would have no hope. I'm sure he'll respond to this message. He won't be able to help himself. It will do him no good as he has exposed himself for what he truly is and that is nothing more than a troll. He adds nothing of substance, continues to try to pass off his views as "facts", and when someone points out his errors, he changes his argument to something else and then claims he has won. Poor bob. He must not get enough attention at home. Every other person on this board, either for or against the split, at least has recognized that the opposing side has a valid point of view. They don't necessarily agree, but they acknowledge the grievances of the other. bob has not, and likely will not ever do that. For that reason I will no longer be responding to his posts. He can and will say what he likes, I've blocked his posts so I won't see them anyway.

Are you always fascinated by those who are so much more intelligent than you.....or is it just me?
How about this, how about you get off the "select schools good, non select bad" bandwagon and wake up to the fact that an big percentage of your brethren are actually the ones holding back the progress of a possible solution to this problem?
When will the select schools, who attempt to do things fairly and within the spirit of the rules, step up to admonish and out the select schools who use you over and over again, if for nothing other than votes?

A parent from STM wants to talk about fairness of enrollment issues? I almost fell on the floor laughing at that this morning. I do appreciate your efforts though. No, you don't take any students from Northside zone that are general population, you do take some that are gifted and you do take some that qualify for the H/A academy. The general population the last time Northside was declared a fail school, by LPSB mandate was to restirct flow into Lafayette High school, they went to all other schools. Lafayette High was protected while Comeaux took the majority who wanted to transfer those years followed by Carencro and then Acadiana. It should not take BRAVERY to attend any school, simply a desire to learn in a safe clean, healthy environment. Your problems at Lafayette High start with the idea that it is a flagship that struggles to keep up with the state average ACT score. Funny how if you look at the composite ACT for Lafayette parish it is 2 points higher than all the public schools average. Thanks to STM and the other true standard bearers in the parish. As "RICH" as Lafayette Parish is, the public schools are in deplorable condition with a school board that is totally dysfunctional and a central office that is a quagmire of cronyism, nepotism and incompetence. Comeaux High is using the same temporary buildings that were brought in when I was at Comeaux in the 70's, that leak and students have to run through the rain to get from class to class. Since the administration does not care about athletics, when will you make the bonafide move to Acadiana? Just hang on you may get rezoned to Comeaux or Northside once Southside come on line next year. One of my number sources so you know where they came from shoot me I did some rounding: high-schools.com/directory/la/cities/lafayette/Lafayette High 2482 Comeaux 1999 Acadiana 1690 Carencro 1232 Northside 735

Which schools have an "Athletic" standard for adminssion? Can anyone name ONE? IMG? Not a member of LHSAA, nor is it in this state. So who is it?

I once ate lunch with a kid playing NCAA division 1 football that told me he didnt "get to attend John Curtis until he was a Junior". I asked him why, his reply? "I wasnt good enough"
OK, theres one for ya.
Nice article in the Acadiana area where the 5 star kid transferred to ND from Northlake. Im sure others kids have enrolled in ND after they began elsewhere. Wonder why that wasnt news worthy?

I have had kids tell me all kinds of stuff that is their perception and is not accurate. This is particularly so in athletics.
How many Curtis kids are transferring in as juniors?
What is most interesting about this quote to me, though, ( if quote is true) is that a kid with a D1 body and D1 talent wasn't just immediately better than the kids who have been in the JC program for years. Says a lot about the program.
Oh, and how many kids have told you that about Ecole Classique? Sacred Heart? Vandy?

"I wasnt good enough" OK, theres one for ya. Nice article in the Acadiana area where the 5 star kid transferred to ND from Northlake. Im sure others kids have enrolled in ND after they began elsewhere. Wonder why that wasnt news worthy? HAAa, thats funny. He transferred from Northside, there is no Northlake, which is a failed school, but I don't think they have ruled on his eligibility yet, or if it is a bona-fide move. Also, he approached them they did not recruit him. As for the John Curtis kid, here is another story, see I have them too: I coached basketball and football at one of the local recreational leagues. Everyone knows my kids go to STM. He approaches me and asks how to get his excellently athletic kid (and he was) into STM. So I told him, apply, register, pay and your in if you have good grades and no discipline issues. Dad could afford the tuition, had a good job, owned a boat and an RV, would not have qualified for financial assistance. But he wanted a scholarship asked directly for it. So, I told him they did not exist. He lives in South Lafayette between Broussard and Youngsville, the Comeaux district and went to Broussard Elementary a Comeaux only feeder and by Zone STM. AT the football jamboree held at UL, this dad is running his mouth that his stud kid running the ball on the field was recruited by STM. He went on and on how the coaches offered him all kinds of incentives as he spoke to several men standing around him. The problem with his story was that he was talking to the STM coaching staff and they had NO IDEA who he was or even who his kid was and he had no idea who he was talking to, he thought they were STM parents. NO one at STM had ever spoke to him, yet it perpetuated around town that he had been offered a full ride. But, no one question how a stud running back, who lived in Broussard, went to Broussard elementary a Comeaux only feeder, was not part of the schools of choice program, was as a freshman, the starting running back at ACADIANA HIGH SCHOOL?!!! In Scott, two zones over Ahh, apartment living can be a wonderful diversion, even though you have a house across town.

He was just a kid playing college ball enjoying his life. I didnt bring attention to his statement. Was no need. However, this is just one example. If I get to pick my cherries and send you whats left, my cherry pie will alway have a better chance of success than yours. ALWAYS

No coach worth his salt, especially in high schools wants a kid that does not know or understand your system, that does not have the buy in to come in and take the starting position away from a kid that has been supporting your program since his freshman year. Too much downside. But I also seem to remember a kid that went from OUachita to W. Monroe just a few years ago for his senior year. The coach got sanctioned but they let the kid play.

This implies that the goal of schools is to win at athletics. There can be no other interpretation of saying that a school sucks at using a select student body. Is it your position that a school that can select athletes but does not do so is derelict in its duties as a a school, and is doing a bad job? And it most definitely is entirely the point. I'd say that it proves there is absolutely no INHERENT advantage. Do you know what inherent means? It means that the advantage cannot be helped, it will be universally present in all cases. It is ingrained, immovable. I believe that private schools have a POTENTIAL advantage. It is demonstrably inaccurate to say there is an inherent one.

But is that really one, or was he just saying he was not good enough to make the team until he was a junior? Did he say, they did not recruit me until I got good enough or just did not start? Absolutely told me he "tried out" as a 10th grader, wasnt good enough. The kid knew no different. He was just a kid playing college ball enjoying his life. I didnt bring attention to his statement. Was no need. However, this is just one example. If I get to pick my cherries and send you whats left, my cherry pie will alway have a better chance of success than yours. ALWAYS Are you saying that JC has tryouts for football players who are not enrolled in the school, then decides whether or not they can enroll? Is that what you are saying? Because that would be pretty easy to verify. Now, the STM story mentioned above? Seen that a lot of times. Maybe not as egregiously false, but more like a kid and family says they'd like to attend so and so school and someone directs them to the enrollment office and they go to a tour or something. One reason or another they never get around to registering but spend the next 2 years talking about how so and so school wanted me to come play for them etc.
