Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Moving back to the Capstone

Not that anyone cares, but I was recently offered a job at UA.  Of course I accepted the offer and now I am stoked to be moving back to Tuscaloosa.  The university obviously means a lot to everyone at RBR and I cannot express how happy I am to have the opportunity to contribute at a place that means so much to me.

Any Tuscaloosa residents with some info on area schools would be much appreciated.  I have a sense that Northport has better schools, but honestly I have no clue and as with any parent this is an important issue.

Can you spill what you will be doin’

I went to old Central (east and west)

Now Bryant High. Central-East was a nice, reasonably challenging school…Central-West was a ****-hole. Hillcrest has some nice public schools; I have friends with kids out that way, and they rave about them. Avoid Holt and Tusc. Co. (unless they have both gotten appreciably better).

NB: These are public schools only. Obviously, the privates are decent (TA, esp, is quite good, if that’s your bag).

Schools

If you’re going the public school route, Hillcrest (county school – south of town) is probably the way to go.

For private, I would go the Tuscaloosa Christian or American Christian route (TA if you’re going to be an assistant coach at UA or your wife is a doctor and you want to mingle with the affluent).

My kids go to Tuscaloosa Christian (small student/teacher ratio, outstanding academics and character development).

Thanks for the advice

This actually does help a lot. I am a product of public schools, but I have become more and more interested in private schools for my kids.

To answer The Other Dave, I am an Assistant Professor.

I wouldn't piss off the boys from Alabama . . .

Try out

Holy Spirit Catholic High School by the interstate.. Awesome school, not many people know about.

I'm afraid to say

bc I don’t want a UA student that frequents RBR to blackmail me.

I wouldn't piss off the boys from Alabama . . .

That's probably safe

No reason you should come here and feel like you can’t speak your mind. You have given us enough. lol
