[Pulp Fiction]

Transfers are nothing new to the Paintsville Independent Schools system. However, most of these transfers are for academic reasons. Paintsville has been among the top school systems in the state for many years. Each and every member of this year's graduating class, albeit a small group, are signed up to attend college next year. That is 100 percent. That is a strong testament to the kind of work PHS' educators and counselors are putting in to push these kids in the direction of success. Parents see this, and want this for their kids. If the kids happen to be exceptional athletes, that is great for the school in that area as well.

Being signed up for college.... and actually attending are two different things.

I know several people that I grew up with that went to Paintsville, and yes, they were signed up to go to college as a senior. But after graduation, they never stepped foot in the first college class room.
