Out adm was shrinking so it didn't make sense for 3 schools.  Truth be told, they wanted to close Austin in the early 90's.  A classmate of mine kept Austin open while he was on the school board.  PAM had 2800 and some change the 1st year so apples and oranges.  This is a silly topic 

Truth!

The idea of creating one HS for the sake of a winning football team is ludicrous!!

I know the comparison is being made between Allen and Beaumont to demonstrate one high school, but these communities could not be more different.

By the numbers, we still won't be able to compete in this district... Not in football anyway. Basketball might be our only shot... But then there's Atascocita and schools like Duncanville you still have to go through. So... That's not guaranteed. Baseball... Nope! Soccer Nope! Everything else... Nope-Nope!! Unless there's the perfect storm... and you happen to have the right talent on the team at the right time... It's just not gonna happen. Atascocita still ran the score up in the 2nd half against Westbrook using their bench. Their bench!!! The schools outside of the Golden Triangle have ungodly numbers... They're steadily growing out there. They have the budgets and the resources to build new schools... And they still can't keep up. People aren't necessarily breaking their necks to move here. The coaches are able to hand pick 2 or more superstars for each position in Humble. The average athlete doesn't make the team.  We don't have that kind of turn out. One school's gonna give us more troubles than we already have. Perhaps we should try putting academics at the top instead of football. That seems to be our biggest problem.

BISD has a whole Early College HS for the academic piece that doesn't participate in sports so there's that.  It pulls from both United and WB.  Like I've said in earlier post on the subject, a more stable feeder system to each HS and some stability in coaching hires would improve the product on the field.  United is on it's 3rd HC since forming in'17.......

 

Since there's no to little growth this side of the Trinity River, I suspect the 6A/5A cutoff number will increase with more schools coming online and WB and United will eventually fall to 5A D1.  See Longview and Lufkin as examples

The Early College still counts  toward their ADM correct?

But I still repeat, the west end folks aren’t sending their kids across town to ozen, and where do you place the high school that doesn’t have half the district traveling all the way across town to go to school? 

You realize that’s where West End kids went 6-8 grades or 4-5 grade and again in 9 th grade after original merger? It’s been done before. I was on Waverly street and Fannett road in school.

It was done under protest.  I was subbing in the district in '91.  People forget all of the hoopla that use to go down at the admin building every thursday night until Butch came to town and opened Ozen along with de-cluttering the attendance zones etc

The dedicated middle school deal is a good idea.  But with some of those schools going Charter it muddies the waters a little bit.  If they don't want to attend they can go elsewhere which may or may not put them into the zone for the other school then come 9th grade I have no idea what happens.

Or they move. Why do you think Lumberton will be 5A in a few years?

This what I see.  With the 6A cutoff number constantly going up, that means all the other cutoff numbers go up as well.  So, no, I don't see Lumberton or any surround school this side of the Trinity going up a class unless it's by district merger.  There is simply no growth, no new roads and if there's any growth in BISD, there's the cancer of a Bob Hope or some other charter school syphoning kids of all stripes away from the district........

I've been hearing about 'growth' in lumberton for years and they haven't budged as far as their adm is concerned

      Baton Rouge split in half?

      No doubt. It's definitely intriguing enough to watch how this all plays out...

      Baton Rouge split in half?

      By tvc184 · Posted

      We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By AggiesAreWe · Posted

      Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.

      Even More From The Friendly muslims!

      By SmashMouth · Posted

      Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...

      Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
