VicMan Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 If Houston ISD wanted to make a new magnet school, should they consider Downtown?Downtown does not have any public schools at the moment; children who live in Downtown (and there aren't many of them either) go to schools in surrounding neighborhoods.What if HISD built a K-5 or K-8 magnet in Downtown that could also function as a neighborhood school for the few who live in Downtown (since Downtown is bordered by freeways)?Also, I think HISD should change high school zoning. Currently Downtown kids are assigned to either Davis or Reagan. The zoning should be changed so it is a "special" zoning area and Downtown kids can choose between six high schools:* Austin* Davis* Lamar* Reagan* Wheatley* YatesThey are about the same distance away from Downtown.

KinkaidAlum Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Didn't HISD just announce a new magnet school called the International School or something like that? If I remember correctly, it's going to be located in the midtown/museum district area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesternGulf Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Didn't downtown use to have an elementary school? I think it started with an R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMan Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 I e-mailed HISD the question on the last Downtown elementary school. I'm hoping to get a timely response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
