Seriously, just move where you want and then talk to the district you want your kids to attend. Don't be a jerk. Just say you want your kid to go to a certain high school, regardless of the dumbest rezoning in the history of CSISD. If you want them in BISD, do the same.

We got rezoned, but the school boards are dumb. My kid is going where I hoped. Just had to have a 5 minute conversation. This ain't a major city like Houston. Don't be an a$$, and you get to help navigate your kid's HS future

I guess I'm confused on what is important to you/your children. Bryan is better than CS in some things, and CS is better than Bryan in some. It really just depends on what is important to you, the atmosphere you are wanting, the size school you want, and if you are willing to pay CS insane property taxes (WAY higher than Bryan).
In years past, yes, College Station schools were generally higher rated than Bryan, but that isn't necessarily the case anymore.

---

Taxes are higher in Bryan. Now property values? If those are lower there may be savings. But Bryan has been higher than CS for at least the last few years.

CS - 2.243318 (CSISD 1.215200)
Bryan - 2.349300 (BISD 1.226800)

Glad someone else pointed this out. Very common misperception!

The rate is immaterial. It's the bottom line figure that matters.

A comparable home in Bryan has a smaller tax bill than one in CS.

Plus CS gets you 15 different ways on other fees (taxes).

To argue otherwise is smoke and mirrors.

I know multiple families who would say otherwise. I have lived here 25 years and the only public school with a high volume consistent exodus for multi sport issues is CSHS with their AD FB Coach. Challenging in the other 3 large local schools. Nearly impossible at CSHS with current admin. I'll stand by that statement and await repudiation with evidence.

Repudiation with evidence? I just told you my son is a two sport athlete at CSHS, and there are many. But a football player is not going to be able to play another fall sport at the same time. Reason for that should be obvious It all depends on the sport and what's in season. You're passing on second-hand info. Get off your high horse. Good lord.

You can stand by it, but it's incorrect.

My son was a multi-sport letter winner and so were most of teammates.

Coach Huff encourages athletes to compete in more than one sport. My son was going to drop one and Huff did his best to convince him otherwise.

There are one sport athletes, but it's not because Coach Huff discourages participation in more than one.

If you're interested, I recommend taking a look at Allen Academy. They offer great academic and athletic opportunities. Just about everyone in the high school plays multiple sports.

I do not have PM capabilities but if you are interested, I can definitely give you more info.

I guess I was wrong about the "purple" people hating Consol and wanting them to fail.

It was really disheartening to hear everyone keeping up with Consol's game against Barbers Hill last night via phone calls, text, Max Preps, and Dave Campbell. All of those people cheering and high fiving when Consol would score...just hateful.

The worst part was all of the hate everyone showed when Consol scored what turned out to be the game winning touchdown as we were leaving the stadium in Tyler. All of those people at the CS game in purple jumping up and down and clapping for Consol....it was just so mean.

Just downright disgusting how they wanted Consol to fail by being happy that they were moving on in the playoffs.
