Not disagreeing with hoot because I see his point. Some states have separate classes with private schools. I don’t think Ky has enough to do that. So then I think how many small private schools win titles. CAL, Lex Christian sometimes. I’m probably missing one, but not a whole lot. Now the lager privates do all the time. So give them a Choice. They can play in the single private league or they have to take a 1.5 or even 2.0 multiplier. 6A numbers in private don’t have a choice they have to go private league. That’s about as fair as you can make it for both sides. You take CAL, a good team in 3A with their numbers because they can recruit, take that same team and put them in 4A most years and see how they do. Same with Cov cath. Either play in 6A or go private. That’s the cost of recruitment. So you better make them count haha

I would strongly encourage you to call the KHSAA and report all "recruiting violations" that you are aware of; contact the local media, identify all those involved in "recruiting" and expose them publicly. No need to protect those breaking the rules by staying silent, go to the authorities and end these atrocities !

Need-based scholarships are a huge problem for public schools. A few privates are now able to provide way more than the KHSAA capped scholarship amount.

Please tell me more about these scholarships that private schools can offer. I sent 3 boys to catholic schools for grades K-12 and I can tell you I was never approached about such an opportunity.  Private schools offer financial aid based upon need but the level of assistance is determined by a 3rd party and is limited to a maximum of 20%/ year, but the maximum generally requires multiple children in HS and / or college. The money available helps ease the pain, but sending a child to a private school remains very expensive.

Some private schools of "work study" meaning that a student/parent can work at the school performing tasks to reduce the cost of tuition.
Work: sweep classrooms, sweep hallways, pick up litter around the building, painting, landscaping, and help in cafeteria...

Private schools can offer up to 25% off tuition to remain eligible for KHSAA. That does not include "need based" awards and/or work study.
