CISD is trying to keep our kids zoned to Oak Ridge High School even though they are building a school half the distance from our neighborhoods. While they are not considering moving some Woodlands kids to Oak Ridge, even though they are closer to Oak Ridge than we are. We must stop this, and ensure our neighborhoods are zoned to Grand Oaks High school.
Estates of Legends Ranch, Legends Ranch, and Legends Trace communities please help keep York united and see that all our children go to Grand Oaks High School.
Being zoned to Oak Ridge will have a negative impact on our community.
- Taking our kids away from their Rayford Road friends in other neighborhoods that get zoned to Grand Oaks.
- Unintended consequences of the emotional distress caused by splitting our kids from their life long classmates.
- Dividing York into different high schools could lead to a divided campus, with conflict and bullying.
- Longer commute. Oak Ridge is twice the distance from us compared to Grand Oaks.
- More time on a bus and less time for our kids to study and spend with family.
- Increased traffic on Rayford Road.
- Increased fuel cost for CISD transportation due to longer commutes, leading to tax increases.
- Safety of our children having to drive on Rayford Road, where frequent major accidents occur.
- Broken Promise‐ CISD sold us on their recent bond by promising a Rayford Road High school. They did not tell us that it was only for a small portion of Rayford Road. This is dishonest and disrespectful of the taxpayers.
- Decrease in property values compared to other neighborhoods around us.
How do we stop this from happening?
We need a very strong presence and voice at the Zoning committee meetings. This will show them that our neighborhoods will not standby and allow CISD to harm our children and our properties.

Why doesn't CISD change the boundaries for College Park and The Woodlands High School so their overcrowding can go to Oak Ridge? It would make more sense for some of those areas to go to Oak Ridge than our area which is much closer to Grand Oaks High School.
This makes no sense at all when kids have grown up together from elementary to jr high then when it is most crucial they are being pulled apart to go to a different school. High school alone is hard enough, but to go to a school that other friends are not is 100% crazy.... we are also much closer to the new school....
I've heard some of the other neighborhoods complain that including Legends trace would be including lower income people. What a terrible argument! Keeping the school populations diverse and inclusive help maintain all neighborhoods in the area rather than a select few.
I am a mom of 2 children in the Estates of Legends Ranch. I feel it is completely unfair to start separating these kids that have know each other most of their lives. I do not think my oldest should be ripped away from his peers and have to graduate without the majority of his classmates .
Please keep York united and have Estates of Legends Ranch go to Grand Oaks. There are so many reasons for this that I'm not able to type in a small comment box. It's closer, they are already in feeding schools to Grand Oaks, traffic concerns, splitting friendships made since kinder, just to name a few.
This isn't fair!!!
Feeder schools should feed to the same high school- not be split between high schools. Leave politics out of it. Use common sense.

As a Realtor I am supporting this to help keep an influx of homes selling and the impact it will have on selling resales and new homes
