This school is NOT recommended. The teachers are very mean to me and say im disgrace to the human kind. Mr Duckworth is chill tho. the best part of this school is the athletics im am not on the team but all we do is win.

Harrington has done a great job looking after the interests of our grandchild even through covid. Homework is NOT an indication of a great school. In fact no study can prove it improves retention. It just keeps kids tied to school even longer every day . Kids need time to digest what they just learned for 7 hours. And the special needs support has been fantastic. Leadership under Dr Jamar is top notch and works well with kids who need more flexibility to learn without undue anxiety. I trust our teams and I so appreciate our active and so beneficial PTA and involved parent and teacher base. Harrington ES is home.

As parents in a beautiful neighborhood in Plano and a top Great School's rated elementary school, we were trepidatious about the size and overall metrics of Plano Senior, however our Junior has had an excellent year. The AP courses and test-readiness levels / focus on SAT are excellent. Counseling is flexible and supportive. One area of opportunity is in funding for academic teams and fine arts -Debate Team/ Orchestra/etc., these groups are under-funded compared to sports and band which receive the limelight and the funds- which is not unusual for high schools in Texas. Fortunately, the commitment and coordination of the Administrators that oversee these programs is exceptional, as is their commitment to diversity and inclusion of all ethnicity, academic levels and socio-economic status. Our child was able to partner with a peer and bring Model UN to the school relatively quickly and with great support from the administrators. As parents, when we had a concern with the feedback we were hearing on teaching methods of a specific teacher the assistant Principal was communicative and met with us and our child, as well as others in the classroom to validate and ensure the brand new teacher's methods were aligned with the values and strategies of the school. I would rate the leadership and administration of this school a strong 5, as well as the quality of instruction. That- aligned with strong parent involvement is the key to a Great School, in my book.
