So I went to two different high schools back in my day. One in Oklahoma and the other Heritage High…read moreschool. Although I only attended here for 1 and a half years (junior-senior year) I will say this school is great. This is a new school and Frisco does a great job of keeping their class sizes small and keeping their schools at 4-5a. This is to give every student a great opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities. Also because Frisco is booming there's obviously an influx of schools, if you haven't noticed. Because of this they're in high demand for educators. So some of the teachers are on the younger side but there's also some veterans paving the way. When it comes to test scores and education Heritage is not only in the top rankings for the DFW but the whole state of Texas. So parents your students are in good hands! I feel like the teachers do a great job at college preparation but like I said I only attended here for a short amount of time so most of my knowledge was already instilled. Heritage operates on an A-B schedule (where you don't go to every class everyday but interchange every other day) this is so great to get used to how college schedules will be like! One negative thing that I experienced here was participating in softball. I pretty much loved everything about it except for the fact that my coach broke state rules with the amount of hours practicing. We'd practice twice a day totaling at least 4 hours a day. During season it was very straining with homework and maintaining a normal life. She received multiple warnings but never changed. There's also a required study hall that coaches have to do maybe once a week or at least once a month. We never did that. She is no long there but just make sure when your students are participating in sports that education takes priority! Other positives: clean school, clean bathrooms, personable staff Other negatives: sheltering/coddling students (not conducive for college), dress coding is over the top and borderline pervy, insistent that the mascot is called KY-OATS (coyotes) no let's speak proper English it's KY-O-TEES.

Uhhhh... this school is mid. At the beginning of the year they lied to us and said that the…read moreteachers love all of the students and they don't hire teachers who don't like kids. Red flag #1. They had to close the bathrooms because of people doing dumb stuff. They also made these nasty ass passes which is paper and everybody and their whole family touches that nasty pass . These kids here are..... weird. It's suburban kids that try to act like they're from south Dallas and they're wanna be gangbangers.

The preparation are to the schools and classes are so advanced and the push behind the schools are amazing as well. I've been to a few luncheons and I'm proud my kids able to be in this district.

I am grateful For the lessons I learned here and the teachers who taught them to me. The school has changed over the years but not as much as one might expect. The good things that the school has to offer are still there and I would not hesitate for my kids to go there at all.

This school gives you everything you'd expect from high end music training…read more My daughter started in their toddler and young child "Kodomo" classes and studied piano there for a couple of years. My son now attends Kodomo. I can't recommend Kodomo enough, it truly teaches the "language" of music. I've tried a few other children's music classes and this was by far the most engaging and musically sound one (and is competitively priced). The instrument lessons were hit or miss for us, as our daughter's personality did not fit her teacher right away (i.e. our daughter was pushy and whiny and her teacher was not pushy enough back), but the school listened and reacted when we asked for help. Do your research regarding the teaching method, but also note that many criticisms of the Suzuki method are reactions to how it was taught twenty years ago; it has evolved quite a bit since then. If you have concerns I suggest discussing them with the staff. I was trained in a much more "classical" manner, but I think their method is fantastic and results in tremendous musicians. Note that fully attending the school is a serious investment of time and money (we stopped attending for those reasons) but if you're serious about your children's music education, I recommend it highly.

I am amazed . I am from Australia and I have just watched u…read moretube excerpts of children from this wonderful Suzuki school in Dallas . To say I'm impressed is an understatement .The children are highly motivated and amazing .. The standard is the best Ive heard from children and I have heard many violists, violinist, pianists ,many ..... The violinists violists are truly wonderful . They must have really great teachers because its impossible to get to this standard without great support ,commitment and great teaching . Exceptional teaching . I think some of the children will easily become graduates of Curtis or Juilliard and possiblities are endless. To inspire children to perform and reach levels such as this is amazing and would require support from parents. The children are obviously enjoying it and would benefit greatly .
