The spring is an important time of year for families with students who will be moving to a new school in the fall. As students finish up the academic year in the spring of 2023, the focus will then move to the upcoming fall semester, a very important one for students going to high school for the first time.

The decision to attend one high school, versus another, is especially important for the families of young student-athletes, as the right balance of coaches and teachers in their life can lead to great things in their future.

Recently-released rankings have shown that these local area high schools are providing that balance for their student-athletes better than most.
