It seems like those are the only two options for HISD high schools for most people for that, and any other option would result into sending their kids to private school or going out of district.

If by most people, you mean city data, yes. Most people out in the real world who have kids in Houston schools andw want to see them succeed make sure they are on top of their work and grades

HSPVA, Carnegie, and Westside are all excellent. The magnet programs at others are decent if you get in.

DeBakey High School for the Health Professions is also good if you can test in there. Challenger Early College High School also gets some good ratings and reviews.

My two oldest boys attend Eastwood Academy. It's a nationally ranked high school and we are VERY happy with the school. It's an HISD internal charter high school.
