## Verdict
The lifestyle winner. If we value walk-to-coffee and an arts-inflected school culture more than the Austin HS pipeline, Hyde Park jumps to #1.

Pros: Highest walkability of any zone in consideration — coffee, parks, cafes, grocery all reachable without a car; McCallum is the most holistic HS in AISD (arts identity, non-competitive culture); Real character bungalows at our budget.
Cons: Kealing magnet is application-based, not guaranteed by address; Lamar MS (the zoned alternative) has staff-turnover concerns; AP participation at McCallum is 66% — higher than Austin HS, but still below the 75% pressure-cooker threshold.
