I've never understood the "they don't have any boundaries" argument against the private schools.
Because it makes no sense. Private schools have attendance zones just like public schools do and if you don't reside in the zone you sit for a year before you're eligible.

That was the way we understood it, oh so long ago, when I was in h.s. Our small, Catholic school in New Orleans used the church parish boundaries as our attendance zone. If a guy lived in the parish, he was eligible to play in his first year at school.
J.C. was in our district, and we always heard persistent rumours of guys from every part of the city suddenly having residences in River Ridge.
Having 8th grade helped with this issue as well, then, and I am certain that many of the privates do the same, now. For the Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New Orleans, 8th grade is now at the high schools, so the point is moot anyway.

This is not 100% accurate, for example any kid going to a Catholic school is considered to be a feeder school for the Catholic High Schools, so they do not have to sit out. Just clarifying that part.
Also, all public schools do not play by the same rules. For example Rapides parish is open enrollment, so there are no zones. Kids are eligible at the first HS they attend. (assuming they did not play Varsity as a 7th or 8th grader somewhere)

Also..not sure about other parishes since all the school boards are different...but in EBR private schools do not have their own zones..they simply share whatever public school zone they are in. So for example CHS is in McKinley's zone.. ..one of the lines for McKinley and Tara is Acadian Thruway...so anyone literally a tenth of a mile from CHS on the East side of Acadian is out of zone for CHS ..but in zone for Dunham and Episcopal since Tara's zone is basically a star
