rafe Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Could you rank these schools from best to worst and express your opinion about the districts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbaNerd Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 FBISD is "good" statistically, but in reality, it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Well, i am partial, but i know for a fact that cy-fair is a very good school district and its growing very fast...pretty much every school district to the north of houston is good...i dont know much about the other school districts(inner city or south) sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssullivan Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Ranking school districts is somewhat hard to do. All of them have good and bad schools; some suburban districts may do better overall because they have fewer "bad" schools, but there are some inner-city schools in Houston that are truly outstanding -- in some areas better than some top-ranked surburban schools. I think it's not just a factor of the district overall, but the actual school within that district your child is attending that really counts.

Montrose1100 Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 KISD no doubt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Well...if you are wondering about the cy fair district...i would definitely say that cy fair is probably the best high school in the district...cy springs and cy falls are also very nice (all schools in the district are very decent so no disrespect there)...cy ridge is brand new but its not quite on the level of the other schools in the district...cy fair also has a lot of tradition since it is 63 years old...it has a small college atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Cy-Fair ISD now has 8 high schools. 25 years ago they had only two high schools with Cypress Creek being brand new.

Hunter Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I put down Deer Park but I am actually partial to La Porte. At least their Elementary and middle schools are excellent. I do not know enough about the high schools yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 People typically have limited experience/knowledge of districts outside their own. You might try comparing the statistics you find here. http://har.com/indexschoolfinder.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pineda Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 One of major selling points for my buying a home in Northampton was that all three schools (Northampton Elementary, Hildebrandt Intermediate and Klein Oak High School) are all clustered together at the front of the neighborhood and they are all very good schools, academically-speaking. Klein Oak High School was also awarded the status of an International Baccalaureate Programme school last year, and is the only school in the northern area of the Greater Houston area to have that, which is also a consideration for some people. If you are looking at homes in neighborhoods and you have children, consider their commutes as well. Another area within the Klein district also has three schools grouped together; Kreinhop Elementary, Schindewolf Intermediate and Klein Collins High School. These are all brand-new schools and surrounded by neighborhoods. One other nice thing about Northampton is the lots are typically 70' by 110', and have a lot of trees. The neighborhood, which is around 30 years old by now, also has a Constable substation and Volunteer Fire Station located within the neighborhood. Good luck in your house search and I hope you end up as happy with your choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some freinds who have their kids in Poe Elementary and they are very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooner&RiceGrad Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Ummn... isn't HISD's Barbara Bush Elementary supposed to be the second best in the state? And that new Westside High is also impressive. That's why I voted HISD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
