The Apple Bowl: Paintsville and Johnson Central (A lost tradition)
PaintsvilleTigerfan Wrote:Paintsvile High school and JCHS both have about the same percentage of children below the poverty line. That is no excuse and really central does not need an excuse. Two of the three best school systems in the mountians are in Johnson County. We should be happy with that.
*Not true. But even if it was true, poor kids can walk to Paintsville's football field from anywhere within the Paintsville schoold district. That is just not possible for some kids in the county system, especially at the middle school and high school level. It's not an excuse, it is a fact.

*Here are links to a web site that shows that 68% of Johnson Central's students qualify for free or reduced lunches and 27% of Paintsville High Schools students qualify.
