    I don't know where these negative reviews are coming from. My daughter has been attending the Spark…read morestudio (kindergarten-ish) for the last year and a half, and we have nothing but wonderful things to say. She has improved in not just her ability to read, write, and do math, but has grown in confidence as well. The guides are attentive and thoughtful in their approach. We recommend the school to everyone.

    This location is not run like a traditional Acton and there are few, if any, children there that on…read morepace with their peers at other institutions and there are several that are horribly behind. My daughter spent a year and a half here and I feel we made the best with what they had to offer. Unfortunately, she was recently asked to not return within 2 months of her LP or "high school" graduation, with no notice, because she challenged the owners and the failings of their educational program. She has been increasingly worried about the progress of the other learners and that the guides were not given the resources or authority to even provide a safe environment (kids throwing scissors!) much less a stable platform for education. Guides at this location do not understand what boundaries or limits they are allowed to set for the learners, as the partner owners of the school have vastly different views on how the school should be run. Future candidates beware. The sales pitch is solid, and I still believe in the Acton philosophy- but this location is dysfunctional.

    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.
