What is it about Central that makes it a "magnet." It has some of the lowest ACT scores in the state. It is in a dangerous part of Louisville. The streets around it are not safe. Sounds like they work pretty hard at keeping that male enrollment tamped down so they can play in 3A and get a trophy every year.

I didn't see it as unsafe neighborhood seen kids walking the streets nice house all around the fans where great people I think this is an unfair assessment

Coachdad here is the info I think you were talking about per Wikipedia

Until 2000, all high schools in Jefferson County were required to maintain a percentage of African-American students between 15 and 50%. In 2000, a group of black parents sued after their children were denied admission to Central High School. As a result, US District Judge John Heyburn II struck down the use of race-conscious school assignment procedures for Jefferson County magnet and traditional schools such as Central. Admission is now determined through a random lottery.
