Another factor seldom mentioned:
  • Wando has 31% more students than Mauldin.
  • Riverside has 28% more students than Hilton Head.
  • Woodruff has 1% more students than Bishop England.

Affluence is certainly a factor. The quality of clubs proximate to the high school is certainly a factor. I'm sure that there are other factors as well.

It appears that there are many factors that contribute to an "unlevel" playing field. Not sure how you'd ***EVER*** compensate for all of them.
