census, as with all statistics, you have made a point that does not necessarily accurately portray the situation as you broke down each Louisville school separately, but did not illustrate the outlying schools on the same terms. Please balance your very helpful data by adding all the outlying high school scores as well.

I think people should realize that duPont Manual has a school population made up of select students from a 100,000 student school district. The three Oldham County schools are what Jefferson County would call "resides" schools and nearly all students in each of the three high schools in Oldham County are residents of the geographically assigned area of the county.

This is by no means other than a request for balance. It is not an indictment against Censusdata or the information's accuracy.
