There is no way this school is a 5 out of 10! My daughter moved to this school from Wichita, Kansas, and you can absolutely tell the difference between this school and her previous school! The teachers, administrative staff, and school district really love the children, and take great pride in PISD's accomplishments. Previous teacher at the other school saw my daughter as hyper-active and annoying. Jackson Elementary sees my daughter for who she really is... a straight A, advanced child, testing at a 2nd grade level in Kindergarten. The other school knew she was testing at 2nd grade level at the beginning of the year, and treated her as a trouble maker. Jackson sees her as a sweet and happy child, who loves to learn, and helps others. Seeing past the surface level, is VERY important as all children have talent somewhere be it art, math, reading, sports etc. My daughter was so sad at her old school, and she's with the exact same type of kids, and yet is doing MUCH BETTER, because the schools has a healthier perspective on teaching :D

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.

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.
