<p>I assure you that not all Texas high schools have indoor practice facilities! Our district is 70% minority and about 50% low income (reduced/free lunch), but we have been ranked number one in terms of efficiency and achievement as compared to the other districts with our demographics. Our facilities are older (haven’t built a high school since 1969). We only get new uniforms every 10 years, etc. But, my kids have gotten (and are getting) a great education. My D had no problem getting accepted to top universities (top 50) without all the bells and whistles (and limited APs) of the “prestigious” districts. And now that all the other districts are facing financial crises, I am so glad that we stuck with our homely little district!</p>
