The hardest part of being an educator is to teach a lesson in 55 mins to a group of 25-30 students, review their homework, monitor each student's individual progress, spend some quality time working with each of them to make sure they understand the material, come up with different strategies to reteach, monitor instruction to meet each student's individual need (i.e. special education, 504, OHI, ESL, etc.) and have time to get students prepared for their State of Texas Annual STAAR Assessments and/or EOCs (End of Course) Exams. What I love about teaching here, is that I have the freedom to teach. I can go back and reteach or come up with another assessment. I can get to know my students with no more than 8 students per class. We typically do not assign homework, so I am working side by side with students while they do the work. I don't have to worry about the State Assessments because they do not apply to the Einstein School. Last school year (2013-2014) in their 3rd year of operation, 18 Seniors Graduated and ALL 18 WERE ACCEPTED INTO COLLEGE. This school year (2015-2016) is our 5th year in operation and we are now around 100 students and growing. About 5 new students start this week (Jan 5-8). One of our Seniors this school year was accepted into Auburn University last month! If you have a child that just feels like they "don't fit in" or are "lost in the crowd of 30 students in a class" or "feel like their teachers don't help them or care", then visit our school. You can even attend classes for a day or so and just try it out without any pressure. If I was ever going to design my own school, it would be something like the Einstein School. Kids do learn in different styles. Not everyone learns the same way. We have to change the way we teach. JohnK Wright, V M.S.

They layout of the campus is beautiful. It is a 96 acre 5 building facility that looks much more like a junior college than a high school. It has duck ponds with fountains and walkways throughout the campus. At the time, I had never seen a high school quite like that. Today, there are some others with similar designs, but mostly it is still cutting edge for high school layouts. Most recently I was here for a fund raiser holiday bazaar they hold every year. The campus is still as beautiful as it ever was!

Good luck! They have no other plan for you and you have to sit for hours at a time for mass and much more. If you appear to be disabled, some staff were extremely rude and genuinely lied about students behavior to get them in trouble for no reason and/or picked on them. One math teacher I had screamed at me and other students constantly and taught with fear rather then patience, I used to cry because she would pick on me over and over again in class because I have a sleeping disorder and mental illness so I wasn't preforming well. Do you like being discriminated against based on how you act and dress? Fear not this place will do that to you! If you wear a non normal fashion they will target you and follow you around in the mornings to make sure you don't have anything thats not allowed in dress code. The rules are made up. by the teachers half the time It says so in the student handbook. Most teachers were great but the disciplinary department is so awful. If you want your kids to cry every night because they don't think they're good enough then send them here. Send them to BL or any other school but this one, I will never forget a lot of the trauma I experienced here and I'm disgusted by this school because I paid for it.

Here are some of my firsthand experiences with the school: -I have raised three kids, two of whom came here for school and beyond academics participated in Football, Drill Team, Soccer, and Basketball.

My kids that came here for school also both received academic scholarships to colleges, so I believe that speaks to the quality of the education they received here. -Each time I have had situations that have required me to interact with faculty or administrators of the school, the interactions have been competent, pleasant, and professional. Hats off to the front office staff who do a great job managing a busy "hub" and always being pleasant doing it! Review #2173

But for some reason, my friend and I felt a little adventurous on New Years Day. I guess we wanted to start 2014 off with a bang! Unfortunately, it seemed like entire city felt the same way as well. When we got to the courts around noon, all the courts were filled up and there were at least 10 other groups waiting to get on. The courts themselves are tucked behind the school on the NE side. You have to drive through the back parking lot to get there. The facilities look nice and well maintained. I had to drop one star because apparently there aren't enough courts to handle the demand. Not sure about what the lighting situation at night is though. Will have to return and update my review. Tip: We went to the adjacent middle school behind Plano West. There are nice courts back there, but there are no windscreens on the fences. This makes it tough to play during the Winter/Spring in Texas. Also, parking is hard to find.
