Your right about the traffic, they need to do something different or that could be one of the things new families might look at in their decisions to move to Lumberton. They do have a lot of open areas for new sub-divisions to be built, but once again, how do you handle the increased traffic from doing so. I personally don't see the growth potential in school enrollment...IMO.  They have been bordering dropping down to 3A for a while now.  Might be a better fit for their program if they do.

Not sure where you are from (which Dogs are you?) but you need to be over here to get the real feel of what's happening in Lumberton - growth wise, that is.  You are right about the traffic situation but you are wrong about them dropping to 3A level (even though, I agree, they would be more competitive there).  People are STILL moving into Lumberton at a relentless rate.  Some people in Silsbee (me being one) wish Lumberton would become so big that TX DOT would build an overpass over the entire stretch of US 96 that we traverse to get south, which now has seven traffic lights.  Yeah, that's fun.

If Lumberton was a suburb of Houston, DFW, Austin or San Antonio with the growth they have had the  last 15 years, TXDOT would be tripping all over themselves to improve the traffic situation, but since it is in "good ole SE Texas", they could give a rats butt to do much to improve it.  But them politician's will come to SE Texas and make all them promises to get them votes and then run back to Austin and pretend this area doesn't exist until the next election!!!

What's the deal with Humble in 4A? Arent those 5A enrollment numbers? 2000 plus kids is a huge school. Maybe not 6k like Plano East but big enough for 5A right?

Summer Creek will be 5A next alignment for sure and possibly a couple of the other 4A schools in the Houston area. The problem is the UIL keeps on moving the top enrollment number up for 4A and now you have schools with almost 1000 more students. The same could be said for 5A where you have schools with 2100 students and schools with 4 or 5k students. IMO 4A is who gets hurt because of the size difference due to less depth for sports. [b]If you have a 5A size school, you should have enough athlete to compete[/b].
[/quote]True, but what if you have more than one 5A school in the town?

True, but it would depend on size of town and schools I guess. You could chop it up alot of different ways.

Wow! I wasn't aware that Central had that many students.
[/quote]Yep.  We've been steadily growing over the last 6 years.

Wow.  Summer Creek will probably be 5A before you know it.
[/quote]

No kidding.  That area is growing, especially with the beltway being complete through there.
