--"varsity football, with only the most talented players making the cut?"

some families spending thousands of dollars on tutoring and expensive specialized programs to boost scores

IMG Academy:
Yearly Tuition (Boarding Students) $84,400 (Tuition varies depending on your sport program.)
Enrollment 1300 students
Grades Offered 6-12
% Students of Color 51%
% International Students 35%

"But why isn’t IMG Academy not receiving any scrutiny? More athletic factory than high school, the players that comprise the Ascenders roster are the best of the best. A program where nearly every kid holds, or will receive, a college scholarship."
