Awful school. The principal and APs are rude, incompetent, and judgmental. I wouldn't entrust them with my children. If you can I would stay away and request a transfer.

The good thing about East is that no one cares. You're able to wear a lot more stuff (ex: ripped jeans, hats), you can wear earbuds in the hallway, and you can sit anywhere you want on (or off) campus during lunch. The bad thing about East is that no one cares; if you've got a problem, you're not going to get it resolved. Teachers regularly break rules and openly humiliate students, and administration will not do a thing. If you happen to get a good teacher for a class (ex: Ms. Devillier, Mr. Carter, Mr. Hall, Coach Rapp) you're really lucky, but those are hard to come by. The administrative staff is EXTREMELY rude and treats most of the students (and even parents) like animals. Many of my friends have gotten food poisoning from the school cafeteria, so go off campus or bring your food so you don't get sick. Cheating runs rampant, and there are so many students that trying to get in the top 10% if you don't take every class AP/IB is nearly impossible. Very academically driven school (everyone I know is either in dual credit, AP, or IB), so if you're looking for that kind of environment this is the place to be. However, be prepared to have about 3-5 hours of homework (generally busy work that the teachers LOVE to assign) each night if you're planning on taking any advanced classes, and this could easily be more. Getting involved in any extracurriculars is extremely time consuming but generally rewarding. Even if you're involved, there are about 1300 students in each graduating class so you're probably not going to stand out to any colleges, that's just the reality of the situation here. The school may look good and put together on the outside looking in, but there are some serious issues. It's only a matter of time before the entire charade collapses. If you really care about standing out as a student, I'd recommend going to Plano Senior or just skipping the Plano ISD senior high schools altogether, as this is the culture everywhere more or less.

Had 2 boys go through Stinson, last one finished in 2021. Excellent experience with both students. When one of our sons needed extra help students in accommodated and helped him excel. The other one being a daydreamer teachers brought it to our attention and work on strategies to keep him on task. Both boys graduated with A's did well in middle school and beyond. It's a great School but good education starts with the family.

Otto middle school is good but there could be certain teachers or students.
