Yes. Generally, and there exceptions, but private schools tend to offer better educations and "safer" or "more controlled" environments.

Here's a hypothetical situation. Let's say your stud 15 year old lives on 46th street and is going to Capitol middle or high school.

Capitol is free, what a great situation, right?

What parent in that situation wouldn't want their kid going instead to park view, Catholic, southern lab, u high, etc?

Now you're starting to get to the heart of the matter. Proposal 18 has a lot to do with football but it has even more to do with an incompetent public school system.

great thing about this country is you have the right to choose...

there are probably parents out there who see a public school and think "my kid can start there" when their nonathletic children go to private

That's fine BigEd you got that point made. But explain to me why West Monroe and Acadiana voted FOR the split?

Totally understandable why 3A and lower publics voted for it. But 4A hadn't had a private win it in Idk how long. And it was about a decade gap between Rummels championship and the last private champion.

Each class had a vote for whether they wanted the split. So, there's only one excuse... A lot of public schools coaches and administrators are scared. Scared to death of better competition. Gimme the easiest route to the dome and whine about how the privates recruit all of our kids...

Kudos to Zachary and the few other public schools for voting down the split. Too bad the rest of this state has a gaping vagina between their legs.
