I went to greatschools dot org and this is the page for Houston
http://www.greatschools.org/search/search.page?state=TX&q=houston&type=school

Then I went to Houston Elementary School, it is rated a 5 out of 10
http://www.greatschools.org/cgi-bin/tx/other/1572#toc
94 percent Hispanic, 48 percent state average Hispanic
91 percent economically disadvantaged
$7,535 per year cost of each student

91 percent economically disadvantaged? Is this the governor we want for a president?

I’ll check out another school, looks like they are all named Houston Elementary School.
Rated 4 out of 10
95 percent Hispanic
88 percent economically disadvantaged
I’ll check out Houston High School
http://www.greatschools.org/cgi-bin/tx/other/6012#toc
Rated 3 out of 10
39 percent Hispanic, 3 percent white
91 percent economically disadvantaged

Dang, doesn’t look like Houston is doing so good with the economically disadvantaged.

I want this guy as my president…Not!

Hi,
I found that site by accident a few years ago, and IMO it is fantastic. You can tell more about a city, state, or even a Rep's District, from the info on that website than from all the BS shoveled by any/all politicians combined.

I usually run to it when the race hustlers start the nonsense about 'inner city schools' not getting enough money compared to the suburbs. And natch, they're always lying.
