Public HS: Does yours value sports over academics?

Sports are the biggest part about our school, but I wouldn’t say that my public HS values it over academics. The sports program is largely supported by booster club money and other revenues from the student store, plus uniforms and stuff like that is bought by the players. Our sports facilities suck, but our teams are quite good. Especially, football–football almost rules our school. BUT, sports would be one of the first programs to be cut if our school runs out of money. Academics for most of the school is an absolute joke, but for AP/Honors, the administration makes sure it’s working.
