Private schools have an extremely unfair advantage over public schools. Bishop England can draw from the entire county of Charleston, and Daniel Island, which is technically in Berkeley County. Charleston County has 330,368 people and is 1,358 square miles. No other AA school in the state can draw from such a large area, or from a pool of so many people. Take those numbers and compare them to another AA school, Barnwell. Barnwell High School draws from the city of Barnwell which is 7.8 square miles, plus the small town of Snelling, which is 3.1 square miles. The population of both is 5,281.
A pool of 330,368 people vs 5,281. That's 325,000 more people Bishop England can choose from.
I am not saying private schools should go to SCISA. But the 1.5 rule should be placed into effect.
