The condos will be zoned to schools in the Alief Independent School District:
(I figured this out through the map of Park8 and the location of the HEB)
Zoned schools include:
* Chambers Elementary School (K-4) - http://www.alief.isd.tenet.edu/chambers/Ch.../chambintro.htm
* Owens Intermediate School (5-6) - http://www.alief.isd.tenet.edu/owens/owens/owensintro.htm
* Killough Middle School (7-8) - http://www.alief.isd.tenet.edu/killough/Ki...lloughintro.htm
High schools are randomly assigned to Alief ISD students, regardless of location.
Students may be assigned to:
* Elsik High School ( http://www.alief.isd.tenet.edu/elsik/Elsik.../elsikintro.htm ) and Elsik Ninth Grade Center ( http://www.alief.isd.tenet.edu/elsik-ngc/E...ikhngcintro.htm )
* Hastings High School ( http://www.alief.isd.tenet.edu/hastings/ha...s/hastintro.htm ) and Hastings Ninth Grade Center ( http://www.alief.isd.tenet.edu/hastings-ng...C/hngcintro.htm )
* Taylor High School - http://www.alief.isd.tenet.edu/taylor/Intr...taylorintro.htm
If a student has an older sibling assigned to another high school, the student may request a transfer to the sibling's campus.

El Rey Taqueria (http://www.elreytaqueria.com/) is a great place to have lunch! I stopped by there when I went to a class at UHD.
Its Downtown address is 233 Main, Houston, TX
As for private schools, Houston has a lot of options for private school. Are you interested in a religious private school? Are you interested in a secular private school?

Does the SW Chinatown have official boundaries?
School-wise, most of Chinatown is in the Alief Independent School District, while some of it is in the Houston Independent School District.

This page says the project is still at hold.
Grayhomes, are you looking at 4001 Stanford? (that is where HSPVA's building will go)
* EDIT: Actually 4001 Stanford is the OLD address! I have no idea why the bond page doesn't mention the new address!
Or are you looking at 1101 Taft? (this is where the new Gregory-Lincoln will go)
See http://www.houstonisd.org/HISDPortal/depar...4882212,00.html about Gregory-Lincoln

I think he should buy out apartments with notorious crime rates, but find good accomodations for families who are displaced by the buyouts.
-
I agree that Cypress should reincorporate to its former boundaries, albiet with no ETJ.
-
I am glad this has been put to a stop - Houston's citizens are now smart enough to avoid the trains
-
I think with these incorporations, some of Houston suburbs would become like Dallas', and Houston would have to compete with its suburbs, like Dallas.
As Trae said - Dallas, to the north, west and east, is landlocked. Right now it has no incentive to annex parts of the south - But once the Union Pacific terminal grows, Dallas may change its mind.
-
great post redscare. i cannot understand why we do not require language studies at the elementary school level. it seems it would be easier to teach language then. at the high school level, many students are uninterested.
At River Oaks ES, kids had to attend Spanish lessons - Albiet I don't think the Spanish department was that strong at the time I went there.
As for kids who were better at Spanish than English, they were whisked away to English tutoring sessions (In my third grade class we had two kids who were better at Spanish than English)

... and destoying our economy won't hurt their oil sales? Their oft-stated goal is to kill all infidels, destroy western civilization... I'm thinking that might affect their oil sales too...
Actually, right now - that's not true - What they want to do is control the Middle East with an Islamic-style caliphate. The issue is that Western foriegn policy is in the way.
-
Yes, Cypress was incorporated up until 1989.
I'd love to find a way to somehow reverse this, or a loophole provision that would ease the process of re-incorporating.
Do you have any news articles about that? I would like to add this info to the Cypress Wikipedia article.
By the way, what were the boundaries of the city of Cypress?
-
Yeah, you need Houston's permission to incorporate.
By the way, was Cypress ever incorporated?

* MS: Memorial Middle School (Houston) - http://mms.springbranchisd.com/
* HS: Memorial High School (city of Hedwig Village) - http://mhsweb.springbranchisd.com/

I liked him as a mayor at first, but as soon as he let all those hurricane evacuees come here, I knew it would bring a year's worth of trouble. He should have helped them in the Astrodome, then DISPERSED them all across the U.S. so that the crime wouldn't be concentrated to one city. What a jerk.
They, in fact, did disperse all over the U.S. - Remember Rita? Rita forced many to live in Arkansas.

Here's the boundary map. Notice that most of the area considered to be "Gulfton" is not zoned to Bellaire.
Yep, he's right.
Gulfton, more or less, is zoned to Robert E. Lee High School - The kids have Lamar and Westside as transfer options.
Elementary school-wise, Gulfton is divided into three sections:
* Benavidez Elementary School - http://es.houstonisd.org/benavidezes/
* Cunningham Elementary School (look and compare the Cunningham boundary to the Condit boundary - City of Bellaire houses next to Cunningham ES are zoned to Condit ES, NOT Cunningham ES) - http://es.houstonisd.org/cunninghames/
* Sylvan Rodriguez Elementary School - http://es.houstonisd.org/rodriguezes/
All kids are zoned to:
* Jane Long Middle School - http://ms.houstonisd.org/longms/ (In Sharpstown)
** Pin Oak Middle School - http://www.pinoak.us - is an option (City of Bellaire)
* Robert E. Lee High School - http://hs.houstonisd.org/leehs/ (between Uptown and Briar Meadow)
** Lamar http://hs.houstonisd.org/lamarhs/ and Westside http://hs.houstonisd.org/westsidehs/ are options, but I suspect few Gulfton kids go to those schools
Compare this to the city of Bellaire:
* All areas east of the 610 Loop are zoned to Horn Academy - http://es.houstonisd.org/hornes/ (City of Bellaire)
* Most areas west of the 610 Loop are zoned to Condit Elementary School - http://es.houstonisd.org/condites/ (City of Bellaire)
* A few areas west of the 610 Loop (including the area around Bellaire HS) are zoned to Lovett Elementary School http://es.houstonisd.org/lovettes/ (In Meyerland in Houston)
All kids are zoned to:
* Pershing Middle School (in Braeswood Place in Houston) - http://www.pershingms.org
** Pin Oak Middle School is an option
* Bellaire High School - http://www.bellaire.org (City of Bellaire)

Moral of the story: The city of Bellaire has better zoned schools than Gulfton, folks!

Barnes and Noble will be in a pickle - they are messing with the wrong people!
If Lamar didn't have uniforms, I would encourage kids going to that school to wear T-shirts in support of the theatre and bookstore.
In fact, the people who created the uniform policy should realize that this hurts community efforts (since wearing T-shirts supporting movements in a large school spreads word about the movement really, really quickly)

Huh???? You were irked that a SPANISH station was showing a television show entirely in SPANISH? Did it ever occur to you that if a spanish-speaking kid wanted to watch an english-language show, they'd turn the television to an english-language channel? Yeesh...
Did it ever occur to you that the reason Dora is originally in english, with some spanish, is to give english-speaking kids (the kind who are brought up in lilly-white suburbia) greater exposure to spanish? And did it ever occur to you that the vast majority of spanish-speaking kids generally get plenty of exposure to english, thus negating the need for Dora to remain "true" to its original program? Again, yeesh...
Also, I heard that the Spanish-language Dora is supposed to have some English anyway.

a google search on 'houston square miles' reveals sites stating anywhere from 550 - 620 ... there is room for error i suppose.
Well, both numbers are correct - See, part of the overall land measurement is water - The small value is land only!

While I do think AISD should build a new high school, that probably won't matter - AISD randomly assigns high schools to people regardless of location.
Right now, there are three outcomes:
* Elsik
* Hastings
* Taylor
If a kid has a sibling in another school, he or she may request a transfer to that school.
AISD also has a magnet high school called Kerr High School.
