For starters...High crime. Bad Schools.

Where will you be working? Greenspoint area? Beltway?

There are many other good choices, that aren't very far from these places.

(This article puts a "good" light on one particular school in Aldine ISD, and its not a great recomendation for the school district. You can get much better value for money, without spending much more, by living just a few miles north in Spring or west in Cypress.) My friend Mr. Football is right...

Aldine ISD used to be considered suburban, but the density increased. The heart of the district is now mostly Hispanic, while the far west (Inwood Forest/Acres Homes area) is African-American.

You can see how the ethnic groups changed through these maps:
* Aldine: http://www.schooldigger.com/go/TX/sc...57/school.aspx
* Eisenhower: http://www.schooldigger.com/go/TX/sc...66/school.aspx
* Macarthur: http://www.schooldigger.com/go/TX/sc...76/school.aspx
* Nimitz: http://www.schooldigger.com/go/TX/sc...63/school.aspx

The changes to Teague MS show the changes in the far north: http://www.schooldigger.com/go/TX/sc...87/school.aspx

The Champions area is nearby and it's very nice.

Having grown-up in Aldine, you don't want to live there (though my parents still do). Try Spring or Champions.

Default Moving to Aldine

My husband has been offered a position in Aldine ISD and I was wondering how the schools were there? I have read that the schools are bad and not a good place to raise a family. Are the magnet schools just as bad or the same? I would like to know about this school district please before we move there. Please help!!

The schools are that bad, yet somehow they've managed to fudge the numbers and trick the ratings system into making their schools look better than they are on the state ratings. Don't believe it.
