What people are saying
“It is a college preparatory HS. There's a greater focus on soft skills (communications, self-ownership, etc.) in addition to academics.”
“This school was very good for students that have a more outside the box thinking, the teachers were very helpful with any questions students had.”
“Some of my friends have their kids there or have had their kids attend. One thing that they all complain about is how weak the math department is. One child, who has now graduated, had to take math courses at Collin College in order to prep for college. A friend of mine has a son who is gifted. He has been disappointed because the other students aren't necessarily intellectual. Most of the work is group work. He's been dumped on a number of times now because he's "the smart one."”
