This review is written specifically for African American families with Black children considering a move into Wylie ISD. This is the review I wish I had read before relocating.We moved here from another state, and since arriving, my family has had a consistently negative experience with this school and district. This is not based on bias or comparison it is based on what I have personally witnessed and experienced with my own children.From the beginning, there has been a lack of hospitality, care, and basic respect. Texas is often described as “the South,” but there is no Southern hospitality here. Interactions have been cold, dismissive, and at times openly discriminatory. I have spent months in meetings and email exchanges advocating for my children.My Black children have been treated differently. I have also spoken with other Black families locally who report similar experiences. The district does not appear to prioritize or protect Black students.Teachers have yelled at, threatened, and spoken harshly to my children behavior that is unacceptable under any circumstances. Some of these teachers were Black themselves, which raises serious concerns about the school culture and pressure to “blend in” rather than protect Black children. Regardless of the reason, it is not okay.We attempted mediation, and even pursued due process, hoping the system would work as intended. It did not. The experience felt dismissive and nonchalant, including interactions with legal representation that gave a clear “don’t care” attitude. If you are a Black family considering mediation or due process in Wylie ISD, I strongly advise against it. It was a waste of time, energy, and emotional labor.Because of all of this, I withdrew one of my sons and am in the process of withdrawing my second. The system simply does not work for our family.I do not recommend Wylie ISD for families with young children especially Black children or children with special needs. Do not rely on the online ratings. The “10/10” scores are misleading and do not reflect lived experience. Academic rigor is lacking, homework is minimal to nonexistent, and accountability is low.If you plan to homeschool, Wylie may work for you the neighborhoods are quiet, safe, and well-kept. But if you are relying on the public school system to nurture, protect, and educate your Black children fairly, I urge you to reconsider.

McMillan job offers learning tools in the library, such as a Quran but not a bile. This school is push extreme ideology in a Christian country in Texas of all places.

This is an excellent place to work where staff truly care about their students and try every day to do what is best for students. I love Davis Intermediate and Wylie ISD!

We’re so happy we moved to Wylie. We chose our home because of the school district and we couldn’t be happier. Our boys have been in WISD for 4 years and it’s been a rewarding and fulfilling experience. The music programs, both band and choir are amazing! The teachers care about their students. My boys are happy and thriving. We’re happy to have both at Wylie East this year.
