The kids I have worked with are wonderful and always so respectful. The school seems to be kept in good condition. Parking can be difficult in the back lot by the gym if you're there when school lets out. The traffic flow isn't designed well. Overall a nice school!

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.

This is probably my favorite steakhouse in town. If you're going to splurge, this is the place to…read moredo it. The service is prompt but gruff, though I'd argue that's part of the rustic steakhouse feel. Our waiter, Tom, was able to give us some great guidance and was especially helpful for pairing caprisuns with our steaks. Everything you've heard is 100% true and then some! Obviously, the steak is the main event, and every time I go it's top-notch -- juicy and perfectly cooked!

The students that attend can be really... Well one word can't describe the entire school. There's the wanna-be gangsters who will wanna fight for the smallest reasons. That describes a good 50% to 60% of students. Everybody else is normal. The incident reporting is not great. I see they've attempted efforts at this so I'll give them credit. Band program is excellent. Football is... Interesting. I won't say much because it would discourage future students. The testing is a decent system and I got enough out of it. That is all the rant for now. Best of luck to future students.

Her legacy continues through the successes of other young men she helped raise, as well - Lupe, Javier and Gerardo Gaona have graduated from FHS and have or are completing their college educations at this time. Lupe is already teaching and coaching. There has been no greater advocate or mentor for children in this community than Sue Wilson Stafford and she has no apparent plans for slowing down.

She helped me succeed in any way she could over the years I was under her care. Mrs. Lilly has always been kind, reasonable, and helpful. She provides excellent guidance as both a teacher and mentor. She has a gift in helping others truly understand what they are learning. I highly recommend LELA Academy to anyone who doesn't do well in the public school system. Students can learn at their own pace at LELA which is helpful for the many people who struggle with the pacing in other environments. If for any reason your child is not happy or excelling in a traditional school system, LELA Academy is the way to go. I am still in touch with Mrs. Lilly today despite being 22 and on my own. I boundlessly respect her efforts to help me as both a student and a human being. I recommend her as well as LELA Academy to everyone.

We are so impressed with her development over the past 3 months. Her vocabulary has skyrocketed as well as her independence at home.
