Rating 4.17 out of 5 208 reviews
The district funds both sports and fine arts a fair amount and offers several opportunities for real-world education. Allen also offers college credit classes to high school students and even allows participating students to earn an associate's degree before their high school graduation. The main thing I'd like to see change is the standard for elementary school teachers. While I was attending one of the primary schools in the district, there were several teachers who were rude to students, negligent, and on occasion, uneducated in their subjects. That said, I also had quite a few teachers that were well-educated and kind.
As a current student at Allen High School, I believe it is one of the top public high schools in the state of Texas. The teachers at the high school are some of the best in the country, particularly those who teach AP classes. Allen ISD's STEAM Center has a ton of opportunities, like the STEAM Ambassadors program and their championship-winning Robotics team. They also place a heavy emphasis on Fine Arts programs, with the largest marching band in the country and phenomenal orchestra, choir, and theatre students.
As previously mentioned, Allen ISD's standardized testing and AP scores are some of the best in the state. They consistently produce National Merit finalists, have a majority of their students pass the AP exam, and crush the competition on state testing like the STAAR test. I've gone through the elementary and middle school systems as well and find that they prepare you excellently for high school life, where Allen ISD even eases them into it with the Lowery Freshman Center.

Allen Independent School District is an amazing public education system. In my time in the district, I have experienced many years of good education. The teachers are experts in their subjects and have excellently prepared me for STAAR testing, EOC's, etc. All schools have resources available to create a better learning environment for all students, and make an extra effort to ensure students feel safe, welcomed, and encouraged. There is a large variety of sports, fine arts, clubs, and organizations, so everyone feels like they are apart of something. One of the best tings is the community comes together and supports so many things our schools do, whether it's showing up for sports games and concerts, buying fundraising items, or donating time and money. Anyone who goes to an Allen school knows how lucky they are to be in such a great school district!
