Two that really are getting hammered by the new rules are Woodward Academy and St. Pius. It seems GHSA is using a new definition of out of district. It used to be the county the private school is in was their district. Now a private school's attendance zone is the attendance zone of the public school where their school is located. So these two schools end up with 95% out of district kids simply because they are located in less affluent areas where their students don't tend to live.

Woodward Academy has worked hard to make itself accessible to students who live far away, by utilizing MARTA and private busses. Seems that's a good thing, yet they're being punished for it. Woodward is a great educational resource for kids in South Fulton and the whole south metro.

On the other hand, private schools in the North Atlanta High School district get to count all of north Atlanta as their district, simply bc City of Atlanta happens to have one large high school district over there since the merging of Northside and North Fulton highs some years ago.

I would probably put Woodward, Marist, Pius and BT in AAAA. They all have strong sports programs and have around 1,000 in high school, if I am not mistaken. Marist may have less but they typically play up.

They are all in AAAA now.

Woodward has students from 23 counties. Its the only one of the "elite" private schools in the south metro. The rest are in the north.

Agreed. I meant I would keep them all in AAAA.
