Eagle Nation Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 6 minutes ago, Eagle Nation said: Can anyone tell me why Allen ISD is allowed to have almost 6,500 students. Why hasn't there been another high school built in that area so their enrollment numbers can drop down to somewhere near the high schools that are in their district. They seem to have an unfair advantage with those kind of numbers. I know this is a forum for SETX sports. But I was just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, there's no rule against having a superschool. If the school district has the means, the resources, , the facilities, and the money to operate a school like that, then why not? Academics seem to be thriving there. That would be the thing to hold them back. I guess whatever works best for them. Besides, it's probably best from an operating standpoint to operate less schools in your district than more from just a superintendent standpoint..

Areas like Katy & Pearland could easily support a superschool also. They have all of the recourses, money, facilies, etc... It just seems to me that from a athletic standpoint, the UIL would want a more even playing field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's at least 3 Plano schools that have almost as many kids as Allen and they don't do squat in football... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you have more students don't necessarily mean that you'll have superior football talent... The Icon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They suggested turning lee and GCM into 9th and tenth grade campuses and turning sterling into a 11 and 12th grade campus. You would still end up with schools about 1,800 and up so a large 5A or small 6A. It wouldn’t be close to 6,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varsity athletics will only be housed at the 11th and 12th grade campus, the other 2 campuses are just the undersquads for the 11&12 th campus. The reason for multiple campuses in said model, is strictly to make use of existing infrastructure and to provide a more conducive environment for tHe underclassmen. So GCM-RG74-WR8 was absolutely correct in his statemenT, and understanding of the one high school model which is being kicked around.

#1stangfan Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 I know some folks in Allen and from what they tell me....The city of Allen doesn’t feel like this will always be the case. They are a “newer” city with lots of development but are land locked. It wouldn’t be long where having multiple high schools would be a waste.
