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

I recently withdrew my son from this school. The front desk staff is disrespectful and rude. My son had multiple incidents last year and no one bothered to contact me. A student punched my son in the face and tore up his pants, you would think this warrants a phone call home to explain the situation. This year, he was left in the bathroom for 3 hours and no one bothered to call me until the 3 hour mark. You would think that working in an environment where there are young children all around they would hire people who are better examples of what a good citizen should act like. Oct 2022.

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.
