This review is in response to the previous comments stating that McKinney Boyd High School is a'Great school for the 'Perfect' kids.' McKinney Boyd is a great school that has come a long way from the 3 years ago it opened, and I am not surprised about the judgements (poor judgments). I am also surprised

I am currently a member of the McKinney Boyd Band and know that the directors care about each student as long as they give their best effort.

Great school for the 'Perfect' kids, though some other kids that may have problems with their grades or have even gone to suspension are sometimes ignored. The band has directors that show little care to students and aim only to win, and don't care at all for kids who don't play well at all. The principles

I am currently a Junior, and I have attended to 9 different schools. Boyd defiantly makes the top of the list and those who gave it poor reviews have problems. Any complaints that I might have at this time, will not be the complaints of future students, because most of the downsides are related to the
