UIL Snapshot Day

[Bigdog]

Some are some just bought by a family torn down and built new

 

Correct.  Many of the houses were built in the '50s and 60's and are small and dated.  They are being bought and torn down with new houses put in their place.  There are not many empty houses anywhere in Nederland.

In my neighborhood alone there has been 6 or 7 old houses torn down and new ones built in the last 3 years.  I have no problem with this considering a mojority of the homes at that side of Port Neches were built in WWII when there was no rebar to put in the slabs. There is plenty money around Port Neches. I am glad to see this being done... sort of a revitalizion of this really nice little town..... Great history here and good longtime families here. I love it here and probably will not leave until I retire maybe up to Rayburn.

Rayburn and Toledo Bend is almost all Nederland and PNG folks anyways. Lol

How does the UIL determine if the numbers submitted are "accurate"?

The numbers are also given to TEA for state funding. If a school is caught lying about their attendance it is usually to gain money and then it can be criminal for the people in charge as they are defrauding the state. I do not think any school wants to stay in a classification enough to take that risk.

Seems like Lee should have so many more kids. 

No one lives in those areas any more.

Eventually, it will be like Port Arthur where everyone abandons the older part of town and move everything north. (it's already happening) Shame they don't try to revitalize the older areas.

I know..  Was just saying in general Lee should have more kids.. But as you know its all happing on our side of town now.

They have tried and are trying. Texas Ave. is attempting to attract people to the Old Baytown area. It's just not working.

Here's my plan:

Combine all three high schools. Use RSS and GCM as 9th-10th and 11th-12th grade campuses. Turn REL into a CTE, STEM, and Health Science campus (Existing Academies). 

Problems solved.

hmmmmm……. Thats a good plan, a common sense plan, if GCISD sees this they will quickly runaway from this idea. Its too much like right.

Vidor and Lumberton own some pretty large tracts of it as well.

This boy from New Caney has a few acres on north end of Rayburn. Heck when the lake came in it took a quite a few acres of my grandparents land.

deweyville 211 offical number

[ST413]

One note of interest I noticed from one of the links posted, if the cutoff numbers remain similar 4A Basketball power Dallas Madison may drop down a class.  The number I saw posted was 444.

That really limits participation. Net result is one team, and 22 starting positions on the field on Friday nights for the whole city. Otherwise, it would be 66 in action (22 x 3).

We have to decide if we want to "participate" or if we want to win at a high level.

[Guest ECBucFan]

Does Baytown not have enough athletes to compete and win?

Look at Port Arthur. 3 schools went into 1, and mediocre results. In fact, before the consolidation, Lincoln = state in basketball, and T.J. in football. Has going 3 into 1 made PAM a state power?

I just asked Stew=snapshot= admin hasn't told him yet @Dayt

TJ had a good football team with Lincoln was on the rise after years of being the doormat. If I remember correctly.

We have athletes to compete. Do we have enough to make deep runs into the playoffs no. The 3 schools are to spread out. GCM had way more then enough talent to make the playoffs in this district last year and this year.  Sterling doesn't have the horses to run with the district they are in. Exactly whats going to happen to GCM when they get in a 6A district.

[Guest ECBucFan]

T.J. made it to state. 

The premise is much easier to verbalize than implement. Combine all of Baytown, and then you face the Katy's and Allens in the playoffs. How do you think the theoretical Baytown mega school would do? Again, see Port Arthur, who has more athletes than Baytown. It just hasn't worked well for them.

Not trying to argue, just stating an educated opinion.

Actually both schools got good in football at the same time after being pretty average or worse, Class of 2000 started that trend then boom, consolidation. My alma mater went downhill pretty much in football (besides the 4-0 start in 99) after Coach Marler left and got good in basketball. 

[Peppermint Patty]

At this point they are going to compete against the "mega" schools as it is.

Nah we wont compete with them, we will just participate in the drubbing.(only in football though) our other sports regularly play and beat 6A competition. How bout the Lady Pats VBall team, we get this win tonight, we could be looking at something special/historical!
