The entire school district is outstanding, but Burnett has really worked hard at turning into one of the top schools in Collin County. Teachers are engaged and involved. Coaches, theatre, and music teachers are amazing and give so much of their own time. The AP and accelerated learning programs leaps and bounds better than what we saw in the elementary schools. ISD administration is involved and aware. Test scores are up, while test pressure is down. All in all, even though we live in one of the highest taxed school districts in the state, the budget is clearly worth it.

This is our second year here, I absolutely think this is one of the best school any of my children have ever attended. They are full of life and love here you will feel welcome and wanted. Most of all the have wonderful teachers and leaders that the kids love and make them love their school and learning. My kids love Akin Elementary!!!

It is a great school for all kids

We moved to this school district after hearing such good things, that was a mistake. Our oldest "graduated" by them pushing him through with accommodations. He can barely read or write, barely can hold a job, but the paperwork from them says he can do all these things. Go figure. Second son is set to graduate this year, he's struggling with staying on task and getting to school on time, but he's 18 and I can't legally do anything...but apparently the school has it both ways, see if the kid is good they hold you to the "they're an adult" and keep patents out. If your kid misbehave or misses school all of a sudden it's "yes he's an adult but you're he's legal guardian so you're in trouble too". Only certain students get attention from teachers, most teachers will NOT contact you AT All. The Principal loves the sound of her own voice and has only time for certain families. New Assistant Principals were hired on this year and after talking to one it solidified that I will NOT let my third son who is autistic go to this school. As to safety student aids let just about anyone in when they're left unattended, my kids love coming home and telling me about all the fights that are happening at the school. Wylie ISD is great if you have well behaved, athletic, good academic kids... I do not recommend them for families with SpEd kids as they are not consistent and treat 504 and SpEd separately even though a ruling says they are the same. And no the teachers dont confirm IEPs before disciplinary action is being done.
