Perry/Buckhorn consolidation

What classes are offered at Buckhorn not offered at Perry?
How many sports are offered at Buckhorn, or any school with less than 200 students that isn't private with LOTS of money?

There are a few things offered different academically between the schools, but not much.
Buckhorn had a dual credit program for audio production and an in-house recording studio before the flood. 
Not sure if that is getting replaced or what.
Buckhorn was one of the schools to pilot a boys volleyball program so that's an option Perry doesn't have. They also started up esports last year (it was an option at Perry before but the coach left, don't know the status).

In general, I think when people say kids are missing out on opportunities they are talking about playing time, scholarships, etc.
There are some kids who wouldn't get playing time at Perry but contribute at Buckhorn. There are some scholarships that will go to directly to Buckhorn students when getting split within the district and some organizations will give one to a student at each school in the service area.

There are opportunities that come to the students at Buckhorn that wouldn't happen otherwise, but it probably amounts to a small handful of things when all is said and done.
I don't see Buckhorn consolidating into Perry. It seems like they are close to finishing the repairs and I don't see why they would abandon it at this stage in the game.

They're in the process of consolidating all the elementary and middle schools on the south end of the county. The school system could have probably saved a lot of money by consolidating Robinson Elementary into East Perry and Buckhorn into West Perry/Perry Central when they were damaged/destroyed in the flood, but I don't think it was ever touted as a legitimate option.
