GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best part about Plano East is probably that there are a variety of classes to choose from that can help you with career readiness and also if you plan on dual credit with Collin College, the Plano campus is really nearby. However, the worst part is likely that there are a few students that are not very focused or somewhat unsavory. Otherwise, the campus overall is not too bad at look at and the environment of students are usually friendly.
