Just so you know, Whitley has been keeping pace with Corbin on testing scores.

Whitley, Wburg, and Corbin have the highest testing scores around this area.
The Knox County and Laurel County schools have been horrible lately.

I don't remember the exact numbers, but the last time the paper published them, Whitley was side by side with them.

smaller schools probably have a better teacher to student ratio.

Funny, parents take their kids out of a very good academic school like Corbin so little Johnny can play football. Unless he is going pro you all had better keep him where he can get a good education. Not to say Whitley isn't a good academic school, but Corbin usually scores very good stateide in scores.
Dads, don't relive your childhood by hurting your kid. That's selfish.

I'm not positive on this but I was told the latest scores released had corbin high school ranked somewhere in the 70's with Whitley ranked much better. Corbin as a school district has better academics but the high school itself has been on a decline over several years. They need a good principal to get them back on track.

As far as test scores go, Whitley County High School was the only distinguished high school in the Tri-County area in the last round of testing. They were in the 90th percentile, while Corbin was in the 88th percentile. Williamsburg was a distant third. Corbin had a higher composite ACT score of 19.6 while Whiltey had a 18.9 and once again Williamsburg was a distant third with a 17.6.

That being said, I think the old argument about the academics at Whitley being sub par are a thing of the past, even Corbin Supt. Ed McNeil stated in the Corbin This Week rag that they needed to know what Whitley was doing to improve so dramaticly.

Now they are attempting to up grade their sports (see basketball B&G, baseball and volleyball) and football is the next sport in line for the major upgrade.

At Whitley is appears that the academics truly come first then the sports. Got to respect that.

Whitley was not distinguished as Corbin was distinguished.
Corbin is by far a better academic school.

I would rather my kid go to Corbin as opposed to Whitley
Sports isn't everything, and Corbin has had more high profile players than Whitley every has.

Don't get me wrong, I hate Corbin and everything they stand for, but their school is pretty good academically. I'm sure Corbin recruited almost every good player they ever had. So let me state this, I hate Corbin and like Whitley more.

No reason to be so upset and tell people to shove this or that for stating an opinion.

Heard recently Haddix could be interested. Ask some questions in Hazard and could not get a confirm or deny. hh:

Lets go last 15 years and name Corbin players who PLAYED 4 years of college football and graduated. Lets just do DI FBS and FCS schools. Also name the ones playing now.

Williamsburg is Whitley county hometown team :lmao:

As someone who would know, let me say as far as academic standards go, Whitley continues to move forwards. They were better than anyone around here last time around.


As for the coaching situation, I think some significant progress will be made by the end of the week.

This thread is officially dead. You could talk about butterflies in Botswana and it would eventually turn into a Williamsburg-Whitley-Corbin debate. More post on test scores than who is actually going to be the coach. That being said I will continue to read for pure enjoyment and I thank each and every one of you for that.

[OldJacket]

I think it's warmer in Williamsburg, WCHS and Corbin are cold miserable places to go to school...:flame:
This thread has run its course...

[FormerJacket72]

Did you go to WCHS or Corbin? Then how would you know? I forgot living under the bubble in Williamsburg is a little warmer, the hot air cannot escape!!!
