Plano Senior High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-11-07 “Our daughter graduated from PSHS 2 years ago. She finished HS with 1.5 years of college credit due to AP classes and summer college work. PSHS has stellar instructors. Her physics teacher at PSHS had his PhD. Her other teachers all seemed to have at least a masters degree. Our daughter was very sick for 4 months her senior year. We were able to change her schedule and classes mid-semester. We felt support and encouragement from everyone we dealt with. Whether your child's needs are Special Ed, Artistic, or Advanced Studies, their needs will be met at PSHS.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-07-08 “hi everyone! I went to Plano Senior High School and graduated just this year. Class of 2008! Plano was a great experience for me. A great school academically, artistically, athletically, and musically!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-05-21 “I have one son who graduated from Plano Sr and one about to enter from Jasper HS. I think that PSHS as well as PISD really prepares the students well for college. If you are academically average it might be a challenge. Great school spirit and wonderful sports programs. I assume the fine arts are strong as well.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-11-01 “This school is above and beyond. Anywhere else in the country you would have to pay Private School tuition to get your children this kind of education.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-07-20 “The competition at this school is ridiculous. Initially I felt the idea of separating freshmen & sophs from juniors & seniors was brilliant--but the sheer number of students is daunting. In order to flourish in this environment, students must be very academically gifted & motivated, in top athletic form, and, socially very outgoing. By nature, most teens are awkward, self conscious, & impressionable--the sheer size of this school makes academic life very difficult.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-04-29 “Plano Senior High School is a great school overall, period.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-01-18 “The School is a mix of good and bad. The academics are for the most part very good. Many very very good teachers. There are many options for students to learn. The down side to this is that the pressure to perform is extreme. Way too high. one of my children has graduated from there and another is about to graduate. I would not send my children to Plano Senior High if I had to do it again. I think the bad out weighs the good” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-06-10 “Plano Senior High has a lot to offer for very high achieving students, but has a long way to go for students who need a little motivation. I will not be sending my other children to Plano Schools.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2006-05-16 “Academic programs successfully prepare students for college course work and expectations by professors. There are a large number of activities for student to be involved and the level of parent involvement is good.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2006-04-18 “Very, very sheltered life. Fights not common. Most are middle class income workers although you have the very rich and also the very poor. Academics superb if not overwheliming. School Spirit is Top Notch (Football and Basketball are the 'thing') Nice theater and art programs. Wonderful students, not that much into cliques. Big school with many people to meet.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2005-12-22 “Great academic programs - as challenging as the student wants it to be with a wide range of AP courses. Also a tremendous selection of extracurricular activities.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2005-03-31 “As a former student, I very much enjoyed going to PSHS. Although the student body is very large, it doesn't ever seem too overwhelming. Once you establish a group of friends, you feel more comfortable. The academics are very good, and you graduate with a sense of great accomplishment. There are many different activities to get involved in, something for everyone! I also feel the size of the school and number of buildings gets students ready for what college life is all about...walking!! Overall, I think this was a great school, and I will always look back with fond memories.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-02-28 “My son moved from Florida and had a hard time competing in the AP classes, but his teachers were eager to help him. Very challenging curriculum.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-02-23 “The teachers are very caring. They are very aware of the students in their classrooms. They are interested in what goes on in their students' lives. Overall, we have been very happy with our daughter's progress at PSHS.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-02-23 “Incredible school! Great principal and great teachers. This school is very strong academically. Students who have graduated come back and say they were very prepared for college. The school spirit is the best of the 3 Plano schools---whether the teams win or lose! Beautiful campus! Gorgeous pond with ducks! There is no better school!” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 5 2004-02-22 “Dr. Doyle Dean heads up a top notch staff and a campus with immense opportunities. This school repeatedly scores among the highest in Texas and leaves other area schools in the shadows. They take challenges head on and don't make excuses. The atmosphere at this school is also exceptional. It feels a lot like a junior-college campus. Students are given a healthy dose of freedom, including open campus, 1 hour lunch. I have worked at other schools... and am so impressed with this campus... I plan on staying for the rest of my career and putting my own children through its awesome programs.”
