Children at Risk, a research-based non-profit dedicated to improving public schools in the State of Texas, recently released its 2016 Report Card on Houston area schools. Some of the results were surprising at first glance, but they follow the overwhelming trend of young Houstonian families settling in central Houston neighborhoods and investing time, talent, and treasure in their local schools.
North, East, South, and West Houston are all represented on the Honor Roll, indicating that the modern family can have it all – city living & top-notch education – without a $1 Million+ price tag.
Way to go, Houston! Keep up the good work!
