Sounds like a good idea, and somethingās been needed for a long time. I knowāwhere my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)āschools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes.
I donāt think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume itās pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state.
I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasnāt very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge.
Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that Iām sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS.
Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ālooked downā on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some arenāt happy about it.
Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
we will be ok, we do this every year. we the only team in this area that don't have they full team like always. catch us in late dec / Jan. but we still to play better, it don't matter who's here orĀ not.Ā
