- Barbara Jordan High School
Barbara Jordan High School for Careers is a public secondary school located at 5800 U.S. Route 59 (Eastex Freeway) in Houston, Texas, United States.
Jordan serves grades 9 through 12 and is a part of the Houston Independent School District.
Jordan has two magnet programs: a program for pupils who will enter the workforce after graduation for high school, and a program for high school-aged deaf pupils.
The school was named after Barbara Jordan.
Jordan does not automatically take in students from the surrounding neighborhoods: those students are zoned to either Kashmere High School or Davis High School.
Some students in other parts of Houston ISD transfer to Jordan to escape home schools that do not have a good academic performance, causing the attendance figures of those schools to suffer. [http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl?id=2005_3900502]
