Only way any of the Baytown schools will have a chance to be competitive is if they combine then all into one school. Ain’t enough talent in Baytown for 3 separate HS.

You’re right and you’re wrong.  You’re right that there isn’t enough talent in the schools.  There IS a lot of talent in the attendance zones, but most of it transfers out.

From the outside looking in….why would you fault anybody leaving GCCISD with the problems you listed above?? BH, La Porte, Deer Park etc..voters aren’t the ones voting down the GCCISD bond proposals or voting in ineffective leadership..its your own people doing that…GCCISD and the citizens within have got to get their own house in order to stop the exodus of students and athletes to surrounding districts…as a parent you’d be doing your child a disservice not sending them to a “better” district (if the option is available)than what GCCISD is offering these days…

I’m not faulting anyone, just pointing out the facts.  

”Voting down Bond proposals”.  You think giving GCCISD a Billion dollars is going to solve anything?  They’ll just blow it all on shiny toys like they did the last few times we gave them money and then be right back where they are again.  “Why won’t anyone run for Board spots?”  Well, since there’s nothing anyone can do including Board members to right the ship why run and “win” just to have your name and face attached to the whole thing when it comes crashing down?  
 

All I’m doing is pointing out facts.  Now, there’s folks who don’t like those facts, folks who love to try to distract from those facts when they get brought up, but no amount of distractions or whataboutisms or yeahbuts are gonna ever change the facts.  They are what they are.

Not arguing with you at all as I said I have no knowledge of the current circumstances in GCCISD just going off your earlier comments about bonds not passing and Sterling being in sad shape with no plan in place to fix….sad situation all around…somebody or group within Baytown is going to have to figure out…I don’t blame the parents for moving their kids out to neighboring districts with this going on..Hopefully you guys get some strong leadership in there and get it straightened out.

Yeah, I don’t BLAME folks for transferring their kids out either.  I simply mention on here that these things happen and there’s folks who just don’t like hearing that.

You’re right that it’s a sad situation.

If the Baytown schools were have the success in football of say, Aledo or Carthage, do you think they'd be transferring out.  Or maybe transferring in?!

They are there in the lower grades. The key is to keep them in Baytown. None of the longtime powers could maintain their "year in-year out" success off home grown players alone.

GCM has the demographics to have a chance to compete and win playoff games. Just can't do it with their best talent playing for CE King and Barbers Hill.

Lee doesn't really have the mix of athletes to compete at a high level any more.

Either way it ain’t enough to compete at the 5A/6A level! Make one big brand new school hire a good HC (it’s plenty in that area) and you’ll retain those kids.

I think they’ve already got a good coach at REL, which is one reason the talent that doesn’t transfer out of the District transfers there.  I also think you might actually see GCCISD ram through that high school consolidation in the next few years under the guise of cost-savings.

It’s a bit more complicated than that.  Remember that GCCISD allows incoming 9th graders/parents to choose their High School campus using the Academies option and GCCISD provides transportation.  The football talent that doesn’t transfer out of District transfers to REL.  it’s not enough to get beyond reaching 1st round of playoffs every decade or so but for Baytown right now that’s really good.  I’m pretty sure that GCCISD would prefer it the other way around but between the best HFC in Baytown, Coach Finn, being at REL and so many other programs poaching the talent out of GCM that’s just the way things have ended up around here.  Poor RSS.  They’re so hopeless they don’t even get mentioned in conversation.

GCM has a pretty rich pool of talent in their attendance zone, but there’s so many other programs with their fingers in the pie that there’s no way to get those kids in the door for 9th grade.  You realize the Baytown Chargers Youth Fooball kids play more games per season in North Shore than Baytown?  Ever notice GCM’s feeder Jr Schools play Cunningham, etc while the others in town don’t?  GCM’s talent/parents are getting looked at and talked to from elementary school on up.

I just seen Rusk is open. Previous HFC left for a DC position at another HS. 👀
