    Are your school on the list? Would you move your home to be in one of these school districts?

    I am thinking about buying a home in one of these school districts in a few years when my kid is a little older (2 and half now), but the tax rate is higher for homes. Either that or I just pay tuition to send her there.

    My old high school is, but the school district I currently live in is not on the list, but the property tax is lower. :grin:

    The top high school have a minority rate of 60%! They are not all Asians either.

    You just missed the s at the ending of "schools" in "Are your school on the list", it's alright.

    Spring ISD is terrible. Hell, I'm embarrassed I attended both Westfield and Dekaney

    If they are on this list, they cannot be that bad.

    The 1st high school I went to is unranked (lol), and has a 100% minority enrollment rate.

    How the hell is Elkins not ranked?

    Worst district in the city. Much worse that HISD. The whole school board is totally corrupt. Which is really weird because when I was in high school, it was one of the best.

    Westfield always had a badass marching band and the drumline was better than a lot of college drumlines. They had the best instructors in the state. They were like the Southlake Carroll of marching bands.

    Wow I'm surprised my high school is ranked #36 in the nation and #4 in Texas. I wonder why I didn't live up to the ranking. :(
