Some thoughts on this thread. (1) To my knowledge the Lexington Herald hires reporters to write their articles, so let's not blame Cordia for the article.

(2) To answer another question, Yes Cordia does have black out of state students who do not play sports
(3)Cordia has offered credit recovery during school and after school for at least ten years
(4) Cordia will never be a Prep School, that's not the school's mission.
(5)The racial stuff that went down last year was from Knott Central---had nothing to do with the environment on Lotts Creek.
(6)PLEASE--test scores in KY are a JOKE. In addition there are many factors in judging a school than just test scores. I'd say that half of the parents don't know what their kid scored or what it means.
(7) Lastly, since it's clear that to most on this thread that Cordia is the only school that recruits players, let's nail them right? Pretty clear that I'm from Cordia. Been around a long time and have a good memory. No top teams in this area have hands that are lily white when it come to recruiting going back for a long time. Talk about creekers whining--I think it's the other way around

1.) The majority of newspapers hire reporters to write their articles. As a matter of fact... I'd say 10 out of 10 do
2.) No one said anything about black - why do you guys keep bringing that up
3.) Credit recovery is common around here
4.) It may not be the school's mission, but it's Rod's mission.
5.) Whether or not the racial stuff was from Knott County or Katmandu: the kids at Cordia had to deal with it. It was also reported that a brick went through a window at the kids' residence - that obviously happened on the Creek. Per a teacher at the school - there were some racially motivated skirmishes early in this school year as well. I'm not saying Lotts Creek is worse off in New York - but SEKY doesn't exactly seem like a shelter for inner-city kids from out of state to the normal person.
6.) Test scores are not jokes to people that take them seriously.
7.) No one on here has EVER argued that Cordia is the only school that openly shops around for talent - only that the way they are operating is to a higher level than anyone else around here and that by the book they probably shouldn't be eligible.

Figured I would whine a little bit.
