Yeah, its pretty good. Its just that I think theres a lot more racism than most schools. The leaders put into place arent really taking the lead, student-wise, I mean. Then there are other students who try to set an example, but no one will really listen to them because they just dont hold that position in the eyes of the students.Also I know that this is more of my problem than it is of the schools, but they give out so many awards, like every six weeks, it makes people like me feel bad. Theres an award for integrity at the end of the year... Please. How do you get an award on integrity? Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking. How do you know if they were showing integrity when no one was looking?The teachers are nice, some of them are awesome!There are lots of great kids, its just that theyre great in a very quiet way, so our school can seem pretty trashy.Cheating is a big issue. You get lots of peer pressure to cheat or help someone else cheat.So our school isnt really that bad, but there are clearly issues that should be fixed.I know, I know, this applies to almost all schools, and I get it. Its just that I feel like this school is held in a higher position than it should be. Students get to put in how they feel, but no one really wants to listen to what troublemakers have to say. They only listen to the kids with super good grades, who are super nice, so of course, they only have nice things to say about the school.P.S. Whats up with the cheerleader half-time routine? I dont think thats school appropriate...

The thing is, this school is amazing. I absolutely love it and couldnt have asked for a better learning environment for me to spend my middle school years in. I absolutely adore my teachers, and I feel the kids here are really well-rounded and treat each other pretty well (even the jocks arent too bad). Some kids cause trouble here, but all kids/teens do that, and many do it in an innocent (but nevertheless mischievous) way.Heres the problem. Some admin and elective teachers arent the best. The admin here are nice, but they dont always step in when necessary, and ironically, can get too knit-picky sometimes. I feel like they just dont support and care for us well enough to be considered sufficient. Some of the elective teachers are also oblivious, and just ignore obvious concerns or problems presented in different situations. Also, it seems like they dont understand anything outside their little world, and dont give any thought to other classes students may have. This goes for many teachers, such as CORE class teachers, who sometimes dont consider the scheduled assignments and workload given to us from other classes. This brings us to another problem... scheduling. This school has awful schedules, and many extracurricular activities have vague directions attached to them, which doesnt help at all. In fact, the broadcast team (that Im part of) suffers much of this scheduling abuse. Our team doesnt get nearly enough scheduling information about different events to prepare correctly to film them. broadcast is at the bottom of the barrel in priority for the school, and always gets neglected as if an afterthought. Our emails sent always get answers long after they matter, and any requests we make are answered warily or vaguely. Back to scheduling... the events at this school sometimes dont line up, and the timings of the different assignments given to us dont always come at good times and arent distributed throughout the year properly. This causes a lot of stress for students who have to do a lot of work on one day just so the next day would be a little easier to handle. For example, there will be days when we have absolutely no homework, and then the next day--BAM! We get 5 hours of homework to do in one day. Its really scary every day to go to school because you wont know how much homework youre going to get. The homework given at this school can be unnecessary and excessive. Like, some of the assignments we get here waste our time more than teaching us something at all. Lastly, this school doesnt have the money (or doesnt budget the money correctly enough) to replace much of the old equipment and technology we have here, and I find this bothering. Frisco ISD is pretty rich! So, whats preventing the money from coming where its needed direly at this school? It seems like a conundrum to me, and I feel that it prevents us from having a better experience we could have had if only we had newer stuff.But other than these complaints, I THINK THIS SCHOOL IS AMAZING AND DESERVES MORE RECOGNITION!

Went here from 6th thru 8th grade (2008-2011). I had a lot of issues here from the students and teachers. Most teachers were great but there were a few that thrived on humiliating the students. Counselors were a joke and didnt care about the students problems. Other than that, the classes were okay.
