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.

My daughter was a student at Shepard for 7 amazing years. She repeated a grade during the shutdown at my request. We were so blessed to have a bonus year at this wonderful school. The PTA involvement is strong. The families are great and the teachers/staff are always amazing. When my daughter experienced some issues with a few of her peers (4th grade mean girl stuff), all of my concerns were handled quickly and to completion. I would choose Shepard for my daughter again and again.

the teachers don't teach IM FAILING SPANISH BECAUSE OF IT THEY KEEP TELLING ME TO USE GOOGLE TRANSLATE

My kids have gone here for 2 years. DO NOT send your kids here!!!! This school is horrible. The teachers cant control their classroom. Any little bad behavior is an automatic incident report. The administration doesn't listen to you or call you back. And once your child is deemed a "liar" in their eyes with no supporting evidence they dont believe anything they say. Stay FAR away from this school.
