We have been very happy with Isbell. My kids love it. The principal is very involved and you will see her at all the PTA events as well as outside in 25 degree weather helping with the carpool line. My kids have had great teachers so far, only one who was so-so. My only complaint is that the school is over capacity. There are nearly 1000 students. Some sort of re-zoning needs to happen and likely will. It’s not the schools fault everyone is moving to Frisco though.

I am a 7th grader at this school. This is one of my first years here and it already sucks! I've heard some really bad reviews about the school before I came here and I didn't think anything of it. Until I came to the school. One of my friends was drinking the fruit punch and they serve them in these cups she thinks it tastes like aluminum foil until she opens it and there's mold floating around in it like it belongs in there! Whenever we come to lunch some days the food smells so bad that they have to open the door so let it air out and some kids start gagging! I this one kid used to target me and force me to apologize to him after I did nothing. I reported him to the counselors 2 TIMES! And they did absolutely nothing! So eventually my dad had to yell at this kid and he finally stopped bothering me. The teachers give you way too much work to the point where kids including me get stressed so much that they get to the point of tears. If you have any activities out of school, they don't care. You're busy after school, they don't care! They load you up with so much work that it's crazy. They are not supposed to assign 3 or more tests on the same day. But apparently they don't follow that. I once had four tests in the same day. I passed all of them but it was really stressful having to study for all those subjects. The teachers try their best to discipline the children but the children are just ruthless! They don't care, they give teachers attitude, and they think that they run the school. Out of everything this school is pretty good but it's not the best.

I love this school! Obviously there is some problems with students that they can't fix, but overall I totally recommended! Most teachers are nice and actually teach you, and I have a lot of friends! Also, the upperclassman are really nice, and counselors, APs, and principals are so AMAZING!

I was a student at this school a year back, and I loved it! This school had teachers who explained topics well, not much bullying, and if there were, they would take care of the issue. The safety was overall good, with minimal fights. Really good school, I would definitely recommend this school!
