as mentioned, there was no "breakaway"....you can't breakaway from something you've never been a part of...It's amazing how many people can't comprehend this
as for having good public schools, there certainly will be a non-neglible amount of students who leave private schools for the public ones if they improve...I have quite a few familiy members in the private school system (teacher, principal, admin) so am well aware of how many students are there not necessarily for the religious reasons, but for lack of better alternatives and whose parents are stretched financially...if you give them a cheaper/free alternative they will take it
but even regardless of how many that is, having good public schools is less about going get "quality" students as much as it is about removing the dysfunctional element (both students and admin) that holds back educating the students they already have...the "better" teachers will flee the EBR schools in droves to work in "better" schools in SG

The biggest issue at Woodlawn High School and Woodlawn Middle School isn't the students. The biggest issue is that these schools are packed beyond capacity and given reject administrators. EBRPSS has written off these schools for years and have refused to build a second high school and middle school because they were waiting for St. George to hit. With a small district, there is ONE HS principal. He is the leader of your flagship. You pay very well for the position and get the best guy in the region. I guarantee that the school improves across the board from behavior to test scores.
One issue that will need to be addressed, that, again, EBRPSS has ignored, is the ELL students. The St. George area has a large Latino population. St. George will need to invest in an intensive ELL program to make these kids successful.
