Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWe thought about Jesuit, but why pay for an inferior school? Our school is ranked above them, we sent a significant number more scholarship athletes to colleges over the past few years, and yet have a similar enrollment. So let's see, drive 45 minutes out of our way, go to an inferior school, be with an athletically inferior population base, and pay through our nose for it. Hmmmmmmm, pass.

Academically Jesuit is fine and athletically they are fine. Walk into Knight Gym and see more than 100 state championship banners (9 from last year)

Remember, they didn't start getting dominant until early to mid 90's.
Pretty remarkable.

Measure 5 which passed in 1990 in Oregon.
According to the October 2006 issue of Oregon Business, the first sixteen years of Measure 5 reduced local revenues by $41 billion. Even with the boom times of the 1990s and cuts in other general fund programs by 2011, a state legislative panel found that Measures 5 and 50 were the foremost explanation of why funding for K-12 schools fell more than $3 billion short of the amount needed to meet state goals.
With public schools in disarray for adequate funding and no chance of improving, many wealthy families opted out of the decimated local schools and enrolled in private secondary education schools.
Sometimes you have to look at the big picture to really understand how these 119 little banners actually materialized.
Compliments of the Oregon Tax Revolt initiative.
Ironic, but true.

And yet our little public school continues to get higher academic ratings that Jesuit and put more athletes into college. And all for no extra cost. Meanwhile, the "elite" get to spend $15K a year, drive way out of their way, and get an inferior experience to what we get for no extra $. And, my home is up about 45% in value over the past few years. Approaching a million and counting. Meanwhile the neighbors around the corner have an inferior house, pay $15K a year, all so their dd's can star on the volleyball team because they are 6'1". They should have bought our house, seen better appreciation and their dd's would have received the same offers. All for $100K less.
