This is my first year at Shepton High School, and I've never been more disappointed. In the first month, 2 students got beaten up so badly that they got sent to the E.R. with concussions. The power has gone out twice, and we went on lockdown due to a school threat in December 2025. In my math class, the A/C system broke, and the temperature in the room always reached 88 degrees. We still had to work, and they did absolutely nothing. Very few of the teachers actually care about the students; the rest have lost all hope in their students, which is why our math and reading proficiency is so low. on the first week back from winter break, the sewer system literally broke and is currently leaking reeking up half of this school, If you are thinking of bringing your child here don't.

Although this school is designated as an IB World school, which aims to promote a more peaceful world through understanding and respect, its practices starkly contradict these values. Under the leadership of the unprofessional principal, Jigyasa Sethi, the school environment adversely affects both staff morale and student well-being. Disciplinary actions such as making young children walk laps, isolating them during lunch ("lonely lunch"), and punitive responses to minor infractions undermine the principles of peace and respect the school claims to uphold. Moreover, the school's approach to handling concerns, such as calling security on a grandmother who voiced issues regarding emotional abuse and a lack of proper education, is concerning. With many students spending the year with a substitute teacher, critical educational opportunities are being missed. Parents seeking a genuinely nurturing educational environment might find this school, in its current state, unsuitable for their children.

Horrible school, should have just stayed in Dallas.

Plano West administration wants everyone to know that they do not make students follow any rules, but they will punish teachers for even the slightest mistake on the busiest, most important day of the year.Are you a student who wants to park in the staff parking lot every single day without any consequences? This is the place for you!Are you a teacher who wants their car damaged by admin placing an impossible-to-remove sticker and residue on their window because for the first time in 8 years of underpaid work, you have forgotten to place your parking tag on your rearview mirror in your haste to get to work 90 unpaid minutes early to wish your students luck on the AP exam you spent all year preparing them for? Plano West will do that for you!Are you a teacher that wants admin to ignore your emails until they need something from you, at which point they will ignore what you asked and demand you cave to a parent? Welcome on in!Are you a parent who wants to demean teachers, call them names, lie about them, accuse them of breaking the law, and ignore all evidence presented to you about what your child did while still having admin give you whatever you demand? You've come to the right school!The grade inflation is INSANE. Mostly due to the rampant cheating and AI use that PWSH admin doesn't want teachers to crack down on, because that would hurt their precious graduation rate.
