This school was absolutely fantastic, I definitely would recommend this school had it not been shut down...only issues would be the june bugs, watch out for them...yikes! Oh! And the rats LOL

My families experience at Christie has been nothing short of phenomenal. The teachers truly love what they do, as is evident by the amount of staff that have been there 10, 20, 30 years strong. The community is great and there are so many activities for kids to be involved in. The PACE teacher is the best in the district and the kids learn so much about learning from her.

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 Principal at Clark High School is phenomenal, creating an inclusive and supportive culture for this excellent school, and driving strong teacher commitment to do more- resulting in impressive teacher loyalty and retention. Our son had a strange year with School-at-home his freshman year, then re-acclimating to in-person school for grade 10. The administrators were both aware of and prepared to help students both academically and socially thrive among their peers during and post COVID. I cannot say enough about teacher excellence at this school, and a variety of interesting course offerings... our son was impressed with the Chinese Teacher at the Open House (which I would strongly encourage all students and parents to attend in 8th grade) and ended up enjoying 2 years of learning the Chinese language, along with playing violin among his Clark Orchestra community. The diversity of ethnicity at this school is strong, and it is a great opportunity for the kids to have exposure to a broader diversity of their peers than they experienced in their neighborhood elementary school.

so most of the teachers at this school are good there are like every school a few outliers of course but the school is mostly good and gets lots of awards to the parents go ahead on with the students and the dispensary actions are all perfect not to harsh but also not to unfair
