[Big Five-0-]

Pikeville having excellent sports programs all around and being one of the top academic schools in the state factor into the big draw as well.

Absolutely right. If parents want the very best academically and a very successful sports program, then Pikeville would be the logical choice. Someone pointed out in another comment that ''academics come first at Pikeville Independent''. Couldn't have been said better. Our child being enrolled there made us realize that fact. So yes, it has to be a huge factor. Jmo
