Sophomore: 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!... Read 198 reviews

  Rating 4.01 out of 5  79 reviews

Sophomore: Personally, this school had given me so much opportunity. Like other schools the more you put into it, the more you get out; however, if one doesn't put in much effort they will still be rewarded with experience. The teachers are all hardworking and communicate with you. Your education takes primary importance however well roundness is a virtue of this school. All the sports, academics, fine arts, and student organization are well developed. The only downside is the lack of diversity among the student, particularly African American students, but this is connected to the demography of this region of Texas than the school itself. Lovejoy High school is #301 Nationwide placing it in the top 1% of the high schools in the nation, and #46 in Texas. This is an amazing school!... Read 79 reviews

  Rating 4.45 out of 5  135 reviews

Senior: My experience here at Prosper High can be summed up in one word which is opportunities. I say this because Prosper gives students many ways to earn scholarships, career paths, and so much more just be involving us in certain activities in school which can lead to many opportunities. There are some things such as doing many things on the internet rather than actual hands on learning. I understand during this pandemic that we need to take precautions, but before Corona, I wanted to do more hands on learning than internet learning because hands on learning leads to more real opportunities than internet. I personally like my school because of their mindset to have everyone succeed and no one fail!... Read 135 reviews

  Rating 4.33 out of 5  139 reviews

Senior: Wylie has always been the most welcoming school the first time I ever stepped into a building almost 12 years ago. We have Wylie Way days where we step forward as a community and show how amazing of a school district we really are. The faculty and staff are amazing as well. Everyone is always making sure we have a perfect learning environment as well as making class fun. If I didn't go to Wylie, I wouldn't be where I am today. I feel safe walking into my classes everyday and I am always ready to learn! We have so many amazing clubs and after school activities that help me feel more welcomed each and everyday. I have never not felt welcomed in Wylie ISD. If I could stay with this community forever, I sure would!... Read 139 reviews

  Rating 4.3 out of 5  254 reviews

Senior: The Plano Independent School district has three academy high school that students can attend. The IB academy , the STEM academy, and The Health Sciences Academy. I will graduate from the Health Science Academy program in 2021. It was absolutely great! I will have Certified Nurses Assistant, Electrocardiogram Technician, and Emergency Medical Technician certifications when I graduate High School as well as an Associates degree. I have gained tremendous exposure to the health care field from my clinical experience. I have gained a wealth of knowledge about the human body from the anatomical structure to the cellar level. I feel like I already have a head start on medical school and I haven’t even graduated high school.... Read 254 reviews

Senior: MISD has some pros and cons, just like all school districts. I wish that our school was more lenient on things like dress code and would focus more on actual issues on campus like fights/vaping/the way some boys act around women. The school has very advanced programs where students are able to earn certifications in many fields. This is how I was able to become a licensed CNA before turning 18. I have made some great friends over the years and overall would say that MISD is a good school district in need of some minor adjustments.... Read 129 reviews

  Rating 4 out of 5  15 reviews

Junior: Overall ever since I moved to Melissa I have appreciated practically everything the school has to offer. Prior to coming to Melissa I had been living in Mckinney, a much more crowded city nearby, and I had been struggling a lot academically so my family decided to move themselves, my two brothers, and I to Melissa as they thought It would be better for all of us, and they were not wrong. After being In Melissa for six years or so I've definitely noticed a difference in the quality of learning along with the atmosphere of the school. Coming here everyone seemed super friendly and nice and the teachers are really great at what they do. Up until now I have had nothing but love for Melissa's schools, however the only thing I wish they could improve on is the limited Electives, clubs, etc.... Read 15 reviews

  Rating 3.92 out of 5  24 reviews

Senior: I have gone to Celina my entire school career. I cannot imagine going somewhere else. I have had an almost excellent time. The only part I did not enjoy was being bullied. I told teachers and counselors and they talked to her but it did not stop. But I look back with forgiveness and a kinder heart. After those few months it has been amazing, I have tens of friends and everyone is friendly. I have learned so much from the staff. The teachers and staff truly care about each one of us and want us to learn and have fun. I have many fond memories of Celina and will truly never forget them. Celina is home and I will be sad to leave it when the time comes.... Read 24 reviews

Senior: I moved to Princeton my freshman year and was blessed to get the full Princeton Highschool Experience from 9th grade until Senior Year. I bumped curbs a couple times growing up and gaining maturity and wisdom but the community always seems to come together and make residents feel at home and for that reason, is why logically, it was the best move my Mother could have made for me. Guidance is at every corner from school to jobs to hosted community events. I enjoyed my experience and hope to revisit again soon.... Read 29 reviews

Senior: My experience at BRISD has been a good experience. The last 2.5 years have been the best! There has been much needed improvement in our schools as far as curriculum and teachers that are here to teach and want the students to be successful and continue to be successful. Now clubs and other student organizations are being recognized for their outstanding accomplishments. In the past it was only sports that was being recognized for their accomplishments. My experience has been good and I hope it continues to improve.... Read 10 reviews

  Rating 3.67 out of 5  27 reviews

Senior: I’ve gone to Anna ISD schools since 3rd grade and my overall experience had been pretty positive. Most teachers have been nice and really care about teaching. This district is in a small town, so it doesn't have as many opportunities as larger schools, but I personally like the small class sizes. Me, most of my classmates, and many teachers disagree with much of the things the administration has done though. Also, the teachers and substitutes don’t get paid enough, but maybe that’s just due to under funding.... Read 27 reviews
