If Miller is 5A CCISD will opt them up to D1 from what I've heard....it sucks because I think all CCISD schools would be D2 except for Vets

[arges]

Interesting.

The only schools that I could see preemptively opting up are the Houston ISD schools. (Yates, Scarborough, Washington, etc.) The others across the state are usually in "wait & see" mode. But with the newer policies, they can't do that now.

Laredo ISD and El Paso County usually NEED to opt up.

Of course. I was speaking mainly for 4A schools. Laredo & El Paso’s problems are 5A/6A level problems.

All the big cities with multiple schools under one ISD opt up so to keep all their schools in the same classification - same district.

I thought all of the Houston ISD schools had 4A D2 numbers, but chose to opt up to 4A D1. Was there one that has 4A D1 numbers last realignment? And if there was one or two with 4A D1 numbers, is there a chance they end up going 4A D2 which would essentially add a new district in 4A D2?

Last realignment Furr and North Forest were 4A-1, with Kashmere, Scarborough, Yates, Washington, Wheatley, and Worthing all fell in 4A-2 classification but opt up. Looks like Furr and N. Forest will still be 4A-1. Washington, Kashmere, and Yates could go either way depending on cutoff #'s. Wheatley and Worthing will be 4A-2. The 4A-2's opt up last two realignments and probably will again.

Interesting. I had completely forgotten about Furr. The one I was aware of that had solid 4A D1 numbers was North Forest.

So am I correct in assuming the opt up is an HISD decision and not so much a decision of the AD/HFC at the schools in question?

Yes in Houston ISD thats a call made way above the campus level

The D2's didnt opt up in the realignment for 2018 and 2019...they did opt up this time....and will likely opt up for the 22-23 realignment

What about Fabens and the Clint schools?

[arges]

Yes in Houston ISD thats a call made way above the campus level

Didn't the Dallas ISD do the same to their D2's?

[stardog]

Fabens, Clint, Mt View always opt up to 4A-1

[stardog]

Several San Antonio schools opt up from 5A-2 to 5A-1.
SA Kennedy and SA Houston opt up from 4A-1 to 5A-1

Austin Northeast opt up 4A-1 to 5A-2
Austin LBJ opt up 4A-2 to 4A-1

[arges]

Gonna be a strange realignment for sure. But the UIL will probably do what they want as usual.

Yes, but they allowed Madison to stay in 3A
