Not quite right...
Mingo kids go to Fairfield, Harmon, Ridgeview, Central.
Kids that attend Mingo go to Fairfield, Harmon, Ridgeview & Central. However the Board allowed the kids that were at Harmon to open enroll at Lakeview this year knowing the entire district would be redone by next year so hopefully we'll end up with a consistent track like everyone else.
Older kids in Mingo would like to stay at Ridgeview/Central. Kids that have gone to Fairfield/Harmon would also like to stay with their friends at Lakeview/North.

Questions for Mr. Wizard
I agree with you completely. All the problems in Picktown school are due to the Columbus kids. I have a few follow-up questions for you.
1. How many kids in the district are from Columbus? How many are from Picktown? How many from unincorporated Violet Township? How many from other areas?
2. How do we get Columbus out of our district? Judging from the failure of a group in Groveport to form its own school district, we may have to resort to other means to keep our school district pure.
3. Are all Columbus residents poor? I ask because you made reference to poverty and educational resuls. There seem to be a lot of Columbus kids in the district, and I hear some of them are in gifted classes. I'm not sure what to make of this.
4. How do we determine an acceptable level of income in order for families to stay in the school district? Should we require families to submit tax returns at the beginning of each school year? Should we take into account debt load, and make distinctions based on secured vs. unsecured debt? What do we do with Picktown or Violet Township families who declare bankruptcy? Maybe we can also run a credit check on residents?
5. What do we do with Picktown or Violet Township kids who require special education services? Will we just be stuck with them, especially if they have siblings who excel at academics?
6. What do we do about girls? Statistically, girls beform below boys in math - even the former president of Harvard said so, before he was forced out by the liberal elite. Should our school district allow girls, or should it be boys only?
7. Will this affect athletics? I hear the boundaries for North and Central were actually drawn by the Athletic Boosters. Will Central football or North girls' basketball suffer when we kick Columbus out? Do we care?
Again, I agree with you completely. I ask these questions because the devil is in the details.

OK, so you prove my point
Mingo goes to Fairfield and Harmon, but unlike everyone else, goes to Ridgeview and Central.
So, as I said, Mingo doesn't track the same.
Are you happy with that arrangement?

True
Park Place does get divided. I stand corrected on that point.
Thanks for being civil. I'm trying to use the data to make the point that economics matters.
The whole mismanaged tracking piece is still wrong and the numbers are still correct.
If calling yourself ''smarter'' makes you happy, then I'm happy for you. Got anything else to add?
