I can't speak for all private schools, but I was surprised that most of Parkview's students have been there since elementary school. So many of their grads are "13 year seniors" meaning they've been there since kindergarten. I had preconceived ideas about who PBS was, but I was wrong once I saw how things actually worked there.

You'll find this to be the case with a lot of private schools, even ones that are good at football.

In fact, it's part of the reason why they are good. Lots of continuity in their programs.

Parkview really doesn't recruit very much. Parkview is so good year in and year out because the school is a football factory at the sports level and kids go to school there most of their lives. Kids start playing in 5th grade. The teaching and coaching is good and the teams are good for that level. Then everyone moves up to middle school and the teams are good there. Then those players get to high school.
