So, what is fair? My question is why there is no scrutiny of these "Magnet", "Charter", "IB", "Collegiate", "Academy", or "Early/Middle College" schools that allows students from anywhere in those counties to go to other schools they are not originally zoned for based on where they live. When I think of Academic Magnet, James Island Charter, Charleston Charter, J.L. Mann, etc., you can't tell me it's a level playing field when these schools attract students from all over their region
To answer this: SCHSL does not control district level decision-making, nor should they. Many districts allow students to cross attendance lines within in order to take advantage of the various legitimate and outstanding academic programs they offer, such as the ones you listed, and that appeal to individual needs. I am not sure what you mean by scrutiny. But, athletes, who establish eligibility in 9th grade, are highly scrutinized when they transfer to another member school.
