I noticed that the culture in Cincinnati puts much more emphasis on where you go to high school... much more than anywhere else in Ohio. I'm not sure what it is about Cincinnati; when I moved here everyone I met asked where I went to high school. I later learned from my girlfriend that people use it to gauge your personality. I think it has more to do with a status symbol. So my answer to your question depends solely on whether your son intends to live in Cincinnati after high school, otherwise it does not really matter. All I can say is watch out for those Elder boys, you know how they are.
