“We’re in the Coppell ISD”
I live in Lewisville, and work in Las Colinas.
Denton Tap is my thru-way. It’s a nightmare. They need to build some time of multi-layer highway for Denton Tap.
I’m sure your Coppell tax dollars wouldn’t mind paying for that. : )
I'm lucky that my commute goes against traffic on 114, other direction is a parking lot.
Denton Tap/Belt Line is a nightmare. It's a 45 minute roundtrip to Coppell HS (6 miles from my house). With my kid in band, we're making that trip at least twice a day, sometimes more...it's a real beat down.
Here's the problem: Coppell's population has doubled in the last 5-7 years, and developers are building on every inch of available land: McMansions on 8000 SF lots, the Billingsley/North Lake development.
Coppell HS now has over 3500 students, and more are coming with these new RE developments. I'm sure you're seeing the same thing in Lewisville & Flower Mound.
My youngest son, all he's ever known is Coppell, and we'll be here through his sophomore year for sure. If he tells me that he'd like a chance to get playing time at a smaller school, I'll support him in that. I mean, we had 80+ boys try out for the freshman basketball team. He's made great strides, and it's not sour grapes with me. I saw the numbers: our 3 middle schools have 3 teams each in basketball, and he was C team in 7th & 8th grade. Just the fact that he made the first and second cuts (down to 30) was telling.
I'll be looking at districts out west, past Lantana. My wife will be retiring soon, and I work at Alliance. My grandson's paternal grandparents live in Bartonville, so I'm familiar with the area out there.
