Independents actually have a larger concentration of their students from a smaller area, where as county schools get kids from the whole county.

What's the difference if a kid lives 10 miles from Boyle County, but is in Boyle county and he goes to Boyle Co. Versus a kid who lives 3 miles from Highlands and he goes to Highlands, but he's outside of Ft. Thomas and considered in Campbell County's district? The kid would have to pay tuition to go to Highlands even though he's closer to Highlands than Campbell County, and Highlands gives him a better education and athletic options. Pay the tuition and go to Highlands, it's a no brainer.
