If you go by the new rankings that came out this week by Newsweek, Manual is not the top school in KY. Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Math and Science in Bowling Green Ky was ranked the top school in the COUNTRY! Manual was ranked 50th, Beechwood 247th, Highlands 333rd, Walton Verona, Campbell CO, and Male were all in top 1000.

I am going by my own observations. I know that there have been years when Manual has graduated a double-digit number of National Merit Finalists. They have also been one of the top Governor's Cup contenders for many years. What kind of football team does Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Math and Science have? Football-wise, I think that Baker is doing fine right where he is.

The suggestion that he should transfer to a supposedly better program is an insult to Ashland's team and community. It is the kind of things that earns Highlands its bad name on these kind of forums.
