Being an independent school district can put a strangle hold on sports teams in small towns. The limitations of a small, static school district is not an advantage. It is a major disadvantage in small towns. In a metro area it may be another thing, but in a small town with population growth moving out of the small ind school district some independent schools are hurting as they watch their enrollment drop while enrollment in the county school rises. Independent is not an advantage. The advantages that I see are private and metropolitan. Metro simply because of the greater population in the area has a positive impact on the talent pool.
