clearly, your assertion is wrong.


I chose red oak isd because some ovilla kids go there. As for midlothian, in 2006/2007 their taks results were almost identical with cedar hills. In 2007/2008 their results were better than cedar hill's, but this changes year to year so i cant say its been consistently better.


Mansfield isd is also widely perceived to be the better school district. the stats dont support this erronous perception though. id post these too if i thought anyone was interested

dunvanville is also one of the better school districts yet schools systems with less minority populations such as midlothian are considered better. compare duncanville

Oh! don't hit them with facts like that. It throws off the whole perception.

I don't see where I wrote "Red Oak", I was clear about the Midlothian/Ovilla area. I would stay on the side of Ovilla that go to the Midlothian schools.
Ovilla does not have an ISD it is split 3 ways. Some students go to Red Oak ISD some to Cedar hill(Dallas ISD), some go to Midlothian. IMO~ Midlothian schools are better than Cedar hill(Dallas ISD).

I dont think students as far south as ovilla go to dallas isd. dallas isd and cedar hill isd are in no way affiliated (or maybe im misinterpreting the parenthesis you posted above that seems to asscociate the two districts)

some students in duncanville do attend dallas isd schools though i believe

Its the other way around - some students living in southwest Dallas are zoned to Duncanville schools. Just a helpful clarification.

Otherwise, keep up the good work!
