<p>I’m also not a football fan while I also like tennis.</p>
<p>I had a look at their district. Their HS graduation rate is over 98% and they offer 22 APs and the IB program. It doesn’t sound like they are skimping on academics - consistent with a high median household income district.</p>
<p>BTW, the game on August 31 was sold out so it does seem that the football stadium is a revenue source.</p>

<p>Don’t consider it education if you don’t want to look at it that way.</p>
<p>We have youth sports leagues in our town that are funded by the town; not the school and these include facilities. In general there are fees but they can be waived for parents that can’t afford them. We’re paying for these programs with our property taxes - but the bucket amount isn’t from the school district. The local YMCA also provides many programs and they have a nice piece of property that the town has provided funds for and they don’t pay property taxes on it. If someone wants to drive a nice car and they can afford it, isn’t that okay? Or should we donate part of our car budget so that lots of other people can buy cars?</p>
