Berry Miller Jr. High in Pearland was on this list too and many more!

Most of those are magnet schools in HISD, which can pick and choose which students get in or it's done by lottery like Westchester International. They are great, but hardly fair to compare them to a regular public school with open enrollment. Just sayin'.

HSPVA, and the high school for health professions, and Carnegie are all great schools, but hard as hell to get into.
Ha! I said the same thing before I read your post. Thank you!
