Zip Codes Surrounding 75219

Column by Bob Ingle: Top schools list shows money not the answer

New Jersey’s first entry comes in at No. 18, the High Technology school in Middletown. That’s followed by No. 23, Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, and Biotechnology of Freehold, No. 25. Then it jumps to No. 41 for the Dr. Robert E. McNair Academy in Jersey City. The top 100 is rounded out by the Academy for Allied Health Sciences, No. 70, of Scotch Plains, Union County Magnet of Scotch Plains, No. 74, and Bergen County Technical of Teterboro, No. 94. None of our schools that made the Top 100 are garden variety N.J. public schools in which the student population is made up of kids who live in certain ZIP codes. They’re “magnet schools,” which attract students with special interests such as medicine or science and technology. Kids have to apply to go there, and once admitted, they must demonstrate they want to stay through personal achievement. The domination of special schools was true outside Jersey as well. Newsweek ranked the School of Science and Engineering in Dallas as the top school in the country. An accompanying article said school starts at 7:30 a.m., 90 minutes before class officially begins. After school, it goes on for an hour more. Incoming freshmen spend the last weeks of summer in a “boot camp” learning math and Java programming. Last year, all 86 seniors in the Dallas school graduated, had an average SAT score of 1,786 and went to college. About now, some are saying the middle- and upper-class kids do well, but this doesn’t translate to inner-city schools. Chew on this: Most of the students at the Dallas school qualify for subsidized school lunch. For that matter, our entry at No. 41 is in an Abbott school district.

Spay Dallas Program Expands to Include All City ZIP Codes | Dallas ...

Dallas South News Wire (City of Dallas)

Thanks to generous donations from several national and local foundations, the Kaufman County Animal Awareness Project (KCAAP) has expanded their Spay Dallas program to include all zip codes in the city limits of Dallas.

The program offers $10 cat and $20 dog surgery packages, which includes a rabies vaccination.  The goal of the program is to reduce the City of Dallas shelter intake, increase awareness of the new spay/neuter ordinance in Dallas and get more dogs and cats registered with the City.  If the owners cannot afford even this co-pay, they may call the clinic to discuss further help.

“We are excited about working with local businesses and residents on this new expanded program,” said KCAAP President Bonnie Hill. “In the long run, we hope to prove to North Texas cities that spending money on prevention is far better than the alternative.”

KCAAP has also arranged for its Critter Cruiser to meet Dallas pet owners at several locations throughout Dallas for those that do not wish to drive the short distance to the clinic in Crandall. The locations are:

Pleasant Mound United Methodist Church, 8301 Bruton Road, Wednesday, June 22 Umphress Road United Methodist Church, 7224 Umphress Road, Wednesday, June 29.

Pickup at both locations will be at 7:30 a.m. and return will be at 5:30 p.m.

KCAAP is a non-profit, 501c3 organization that has provided low-cost pet sterilization surgeries and vaccinations, as well as free surgeries for the pets of disadvantaged Texas Residents, for more than five years, performing more than 50,000 surgeries.

For more information, to schedule surgery, arrange for shuttle services or to become a volunteer, visit www.spayneuternet.org or call (1-972) 472-3500.
