    Grayson County 1A appeal

    Is "threecat" supposed to be an insult of some kind? Way to maintain a level of maturity in what has otherwise been a civil conversation. Home-school students only count toward VHSL ADM figures if the home-school students use public school facilities. Which no local school system allows!

    Grayson County 1A appeal

    It's completely understandable for a student in this scenario to count for the remainder of the school year in which he/she began in the public school system. It's absurd to believe that same kid would count until his/her class graduates!

    Grayson County 1A appeal

    A kid who attends 9th grade for a month before choosing the home-school route would have to be counted toward ADM figures until that kids remaining classmates graduate is a bit much for me to believe without seeing something noteworthy from an official source. I don't want to argue with you but...

    Grayson County 1A appeal

    Some of Grayson's decline can be attributed to an increase in home school but I wouldn't classify it as "alot." As the link provided clearly shows, the total number of kids being home schooled in Grayson County has remained steady around 75 total kids for a decade. That number increased two...

    Grayson County 1A appeal

    I get what you're saying and technically, you're right. We both are, just in different ways, I guess. Enrollments in small, rural communities fluctuates in cycles. In 2002, Galax was at 346, 363 in 2008, 383 in 2012 and down to 360 in 2018. The trend down seen between 2012 and 2018 will be...

    Grayson County 1A appeal

    The school is K-7. Grades 8-12 are bused down the mountain to Grayson. It would have made much more sense to have the new school completely replace Mount Rogers as a K-12 school.

    Grayson County 1A appeal

    Google "Grayson County Public Schools budget shortfall." That will take you back to 2015 and run through this past summer. The root problem, however, is the decision to build a new school in a remote part of the county to serve a community of roughly 50 kids, if that many. With winding...

    Grayson County 1A appeal

    March 2018 ADM figures were 495 and I haven't heard they were dropping. If they do drop, the MED would be one hell of a Class 1 district!

    Grayson County 1A appeal

    Galax's enrollment is increasing but not at the level Grayson's is decreasing. Grayson is also paying a heavy price for decisions made a decade ago by leaders who are no longer around. Unfortunately, those decisions have handcuffed the school system.

    Grayson County 1A appeal

    Grayson County as a whole has experienced a mass-exodus in recent years. Current high school enrollment is 447 and will drop further next year. I wonder how this will affect Fort Chiswell being the only Class 2 school remaining in an all Class 1 MED?

    Galax @ Rural Retreat

    Galax has 27 kids on the roster with roughly a half-dozen of those being out due to injury. Of the 27 kids on the roster, 24 are virtually interchangeable with little to no drop in talent, ability or production. Who would you suggest they put on the field in lopsided affairs?

    Nobody is disputing that! Not even Grayson. But next cycle, Grayson is already well within the Class 1 threshold.

    Tweeking of Realignment After Appeals

    It depends on the circumstance and how "playing down" is defined. In the case of Grayson County, the March 2018 ADM figures indicate they have an enrollment of 489, down from 507 the previous cycle. Less than a decade ago, Grayson was at or above 600. The enrollment has been shrinking by an...

    One of the reasons Galax is successful.

    Absolutely! And his brother is chomping at the bit for his chance as well!

    It likely wont matter for Grayson next cycle. If recent enrollment trends continue, they will be below the Class 1 threshold by then if they aren't already.

    George Wythe edged Abingdon

    Impressive for any school to have four rounds in the 70's regardless of classification.
