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.

I love Shepton, as it's a really good school, and the reason I'm putting 4 stars instead of 5 is really out of the school's control, at least in my opinion. In my Freshman year, there were a lot of fights, but other than that, I do think it's a very good place.

I was happy at Shepton. I loved a lot of my teachers. The BASE program is good. They do extremely well when It comes to kids with IEP's. I was there for when they were doing construction and they made it a very happy and safe space. Loved the student body and sports. They also do very well in Preparing you for Plano West, and college. The AVID program could use some help. Overall very happy there. Loved the teachers, kids, and staff.
