I did Mecklenburg County and the counties that touch it, but if you'd like to help expand the list to the counties further out in the metro, I think it would be a welcome resource!

I'm posting from a phone right now, so data is a concern & I can't cut & paste. You ignored most of the high schools in Gaston County, as well.
