I understand what you are saying, psycho_dad. I think you took the numbers I presented far too literally. I presented those as hypothetical for discussion's sake. Maybe I've interpreted what you've stated incorrectly, but tell me if I'm wrong.
I do not know the distribution curve of the state's school systems in terms of #kids/school, but that information is out there. I think we can all recognize that there is serious lack of equity amongst the largest division (I) and that should at the very minimum be addressed. But that does not preclude the rest of my statement. Competitive distributions are frequently not seen with simple divisions made of the same number of schools/division. However, I understand the simple-mindedness of state authorities when it comes to making these divisions, so I hold little hope of them actually doing serious any serious study of the matter. It would be an undertaking, and the results of such a study's results being implemented would meet with criticism as well.
In any case, a school such as Mason (not to pick on Mason, just that I know that district well) has a serious competitive advantage over most of the other D1 schools of their district and region. I think that needs to be addressed with a Super D1 division. My 2 cents.
