This used to a great school district, on par with Highland Park in Dallas, but now the District is becoming more Latino and the scores are going down, the District is at the tipping point, hopefully more of the bad apartments in the District get razed and the Demographics shift or else they better add a few new wings to St Mary’s Hall and stop passing bonds to improve schools in AHISD. It’s a shame, but someone should have drawn the lines to just include Olmos Park AH, and Terrell Hills, not that awful area up near Wal Mart and all those cheap apartments. Ruining a once great district. I’d still send my kids, but it’s at the tipping point, they better figure something out to boost the Anglo numbers or its curtains Close Quote

I graduated Alamo Heights in 1966. This education alone is college level today. Our school had no technology(electronics) in those days. You had to use your head and THINK, which is not going around much these days. READ, erudition is free!!! Use it to your advantage, be kind to your fellow man, who did not get such a well founded basis of Knowledge. Study, learn,and apply yourself. Shalom.... Chuck Donahue Class of 1966 Close Quote
