Would you see the school districts getting better in those areas?

Some of the HISD elementary schools in the Heights area are acceptable and have a good base of students from that upper class demographic - Travis and Harvard come to mind. The problem is that the transition hasn't made it to the middle school and certainly not the high schools yet. Parents are pulling their kids out of HISD after elementary rather than braving those schools. I'm hoping these schools will follow this pattern in the next 5 years as well. Property values are too damn high not to.
