<p>Actually, Cy-Fair has some better performing schools too, look at the link on NMSF that I posted. I was talking about the three poor performing schools such as Cy-Ridge, Cy-Spring and Cy-Lakes that did not match Seven Lakes and other high performing schools mentioned by another poster. </p>
<p>Same thing with Seven Lakes / Cinco Ranch on one end and Mayde Creek and Morton Ranch on the other at Katy ISD. Same thing at Kerr vs Hastings & Elskin at Alief.</p>
<p>Common Data set have not been released for the current freshman class (2013) that grew at 7% and is bigger than UT. Where did you get these numbers?</p>
<p>Well, I am sorry I used perazziman’s link. I should have said COA.
But people around here definitely consider A&M more affordable. A&M also gives better need-based scholarships, it looks like their maximum income level when students are still eligible is higher than UT (I am guessing here).
Just checked the last graduation booklet from our HS. A&M - 6 people with scholarships, UT - 1 (and it’s top 10% scholarship which is practically state money)</p>
<p>Thanks and yes it is identical, I just do not have the patience to correct and discuss the subject anymore with parents who think UT would be superior if A&M’s tuition was lower.</p>
