Geez Louise. An absolute spanking this year.

They have been maxing us out every year... insane..

And it seems none of my comps ever protest, so they get to arbitrarily set the price unfettered.

It is getting ridiculous

Got hammered
Again

We got hammered as well. MCAD has some unreasonable comps and do not want to hear our counter comps.

Yeah, I'm really at a loss as to what to do. Frustrating. Thanks government for the right to own property.

Has nothing to do with WISD. Has everything to do with over heated housing market which shows not signs of cooling off.

This article is from Empower Texas, which goal is a voucher system so don't expect them to highlight anything good coming from public schools. As far as Waco ISD, the district's student population is 85% economically disadvantaged. There aren't many ecodis schools, I'd say less than 5%, problem closer to 1%, that are meeting the state's standard for STAAR testing. I'm not making excuses, but it's a major factor, and one very difficult to overcome. Impoverished families don't have the means to focus thier time and efforts on education, because they're too busy trying to make ends meet. Second, the said population's culture doesn't usually understand the impact education has on breaking the cycle.

The solution far exceeds what's going on behind the walls of the classroom. Communication and buy in from the community is a must for real change to occur. Dr. Nelson is busting his chops to create a unified community in schools. He was successful in doing so at Laredo ISD, so there is a good chance he and his staff will get things turned around. It's not gonna happen overnight. It's gonna take time, meaning a few years before you see the effects.
