I was surprised, looking at the maps, that more of Bryker Woods was not absorbed into Casis.

The married student housing along Lake Austin Blvd has historically been part to Mathews, to combine it with the married student housing east of Mopac.  In the proposed maps, the housing along LAB is now assigned to Casis and the part east of Mopac is still Mathews.  Which splits that community.  However, UT has started to move this housing to east campus near Disch-Falk, and those kids will probably end up at Campbell long term.

I *think* there is some room at Casis to put Bryker Woods kids at Casis.  I am surprised they didn't keep the married students together at Mathews and move the Bryker Woods kids to Casis.  I suspect the BW families would have preferred Casis to Mathews, but that is just my guess.

Also, Mathews 6th grade is proposed to end.  I think BW lost their 6th a few years ago.  Honestly getting rid of 6th in the Austin High / O. Henry vertical will help O. Henry long term.

It’s more of a cultural thing. BW parents tend to like a smaller, laid back school without the hyper intense parent culture. I think they would get more pushback if Casis was the plan.

Absolutely wrong. The reason BW isn't rezoned to Casis is because the Pemberton parents cut a deal with Lynn Boswell for them to stay at Casis. Spare me the "cultural" fit. That's horse shit.

Edit to add: BW kids and families are friends with Casis kids and families through all kinds of activities. We all know each other and the parent culture.

Woof Mueller kids gonna be zoned to Northeast

I’m somewhat chuckling about this. 10 years ago we were misled by the developers that all of Mueller was zoned to Maplewood elementary and McCallum hs. We figured out that we were just east of a dividing line after plunking down a big deposit so we just rolled with it. There was such hypocrisy of people preaching to “east Muellerites” to happily send their kids to Blanton and Reagan/NE, while being uppity about their kids’ schools (or if they had money, sending their kids to private schools). Maplewood (and maybe McCallum) were too full to accept transfers so we were stuck. We ended up bailing to the burbs when our kids started school. Now the west muellerites can practice what they preached.
