Some real good advice on here by many people. Not one to post often but I do believe you should be thinking not only the ISDs but also the schools within them. Which ones will fit your kids best, whether it is sports, academics, extra curricular activities etc.
Other than reading ratings/reviews on Great Schools and the TEA site, how can one go about finding out more about how good individual schools are in terms of academics, extra curricular activities etc. other than speaking to actaul parents at those schools? For us, in order of priority 1) Academics, 2) Extra curricular activities, 3) Sports are important. We just want our kids to be well rounded individuals with a chance to get into good colleges throughout the country after high school, not just UT colleges. Both my wife and I have graduate degrees, so for us education is very important - at least during Elementary and Middle schools - unless somehow our kids show some extraordinary athletic abilities that we are not aware of and want to play sports seriously as they grow up, which is also fine. But we certainly want to give them a good educational foundation during their younger years.

We have been preparing some info for a client on schools. The info is being based on Parent feedback as well as some teacher input but would not be ready for a little while. If you are not needing the info this week, then when it is compiled, I can help get it to you.
