Size should not matter, small private schools are producing fantastic results in FRC.
What should matter is % of school under free or reduced lunch. The free-lunch % statisitic is a metric used to gauge poverty levels at schools.
After years of watching teams succeed and fail in inner city schools, I believe the free lunch statistic is a major contributor between a sustaining team and unsustainable team.
Now if FRC really wants to meet their growth numbers for the future.
FRC should consider reducing registration fees to teams with a >40% free-lunch .
