I advise parents to steer clear of this school and the theater department in this school. I regret enrolling my daughter in Prosper High School.I/she/we unknowingly made the mistake of allowing her to take theatre classes and she has gone from a consistent straight A student to barely passing. Theatre has become her ONLY focus and there is no encouragement to do well in core classes. The students are pulled out of core classes for performances during the school day which puts them behind. The students seem to "hang out" in the theater area before, during and after school sometime practicing but most of the time gossiping about each other. The theater department now has more influence over my daughter then I do and it appears that theater is prioritized over core classes. It is as if she has been brainwashed because she truly thinks of them as her family now. I know that my daughter is not reaching her full potential at this school. I am also concerned that when I try to monitor my daughter grades in skyward it is difficult to tell if she did not turn in the assignment or if the teachers just did not grade the homework, so I never really know what her grades are until the end of each 9 weeks. In the last year, after they rezoned for the new school, my daughter has started mentioning more fighting at the school where the police had to get involved. She speaks more frequently about students getting into drugs and vaping in the school. She told me about teachers that have been rude and borderline inappropriate towards her. Finally, she has also had to deal with the pretentious students there.Very disappointing.

The school fails to follow IEP’s and 504 plans. Administrators ignore parents and do not follow their own code of conduct. When a grievance is made by a parent they retaliate on the student. Teachers can not control the classrooms making the culture unsafe for students.

We moved here last year and the school has been great for my incoming Freshman and Junior..The teachers are fantastic and the Principal is great and engaging. The school is yes crowded but Walnut Grove is opening in August and will eleveate some of the over-crowded halls. School is what you make it...Get involved tons of sports, club programs...Football stadium is like a college stadium. The electives that the students can pick from are abundant which in turn helps them focus on an area of study for college or trade school.... Police station in the school and kids love and respect them.... FANTASTIC SCHOOL!!

Education is great but this is mainly a party school where there are too many events happening and has high student engagement. It's a little overcrowded. The pep rally's are very frequent and one of the best pep rally's in the world.

First, take a look at the Prosper High School website of Administration. It is extremely simple to analyze that this school is putting up a front. Reading each of their contributing factors to The Prosper High School, realized that ALL admin (people in charge) identify themselves as to "always" serve/ be servants to each student. As for it can be confirmed that this school has no intentions of supporting let alone "serving" any individual who is NOT a part of a glamorized media post beyond the school. They care about who represents the school so they can maintain the rich and golden image they hold and will continue to brainwash us with. Help make the difference today, and save the generations to come. "next"

Our experience started our strong but this school crumbled at the first signs of adversity. It’s as if they do not know how to handle anything outside of the picture perfect view and want to victim blame for not being okay with things that are not okay

The district is suffering growing pains and PHS cannot keep up! School is way too crowded. Students get away with bullying, leaving early, cheating, and disrespecting others. Administration and teachers don’t follow their own policies and just sweep the concerns of parents/students under the rug instead of doing what is right for students because they are in fear of tarnishing the schools rep by getting a negative post on social media.

I think that this school is extremely over rated. They push things aside and sweep them under the rug to maintain a certain image of a high standard without actually achieving that standard. This is a prime example of don’t judge a book by its cover because all the pages inside of this book have been redacted.

We were very impressed with the level of education and college preparation from this school My son took full advantage and worked very hard taking dual credit classes his junior and senior year and was able to cut a full year off his college education and use those credits and graduated in 3 years! Amazing savings and time. I didn't really get involved in the school politics. It seemed like they cleaned out most of the problems right before my son got there. The only negative wa the Tennis Coach, Mandy Weaver. She was very immature and a bully. Therefore, only gets 4 stars.

Pretty decent. I have a home in band and I love all the people there. I take all the advanced classes I can in a year and it is truly a challenge, but it really does prepare me for college. The school can improve upon some things, but overall it's a good school.

This school has a lot of classes to help students with college and all, but in most electives are just coaches who need a class to teach and they don't know what they are doing. The kids here think the leadership here is a joke and pretty much do whatever they want. Most teachers act like they care about the development of the students but they really don't. They just load the students up with work and then complain about how much they have to grade. So overall I would say my experience here has been pretty bad.

The Education and College Prep my children receive is amazing. From AG Science to AP classes there is an amazing array offered. The GT Program starts in Kindergarten, Screening and help for one of our Daughters with Dyslexia. AP and Pre AP classes push our academics. Athletics are strong, We started a new Latin Club through the Junior Classical League this year, offer ASL American Sign Language through 4th year, Compete regularly in UIL, Have a PSAT prep class for credit and a unique small town feel where most kids feel like they have a place. Love living in Prosper!!

My Daughter graduated from Prosper high school. It was a fantastic experience. She transferred into Prosper for her last two years of school. I met with many of her teachers and Dr. Watkins on many occasions. All of whom seemed genuinely interested in the wellbeing of my Daughter. She was excepted and made to feel welcome by the other students as well. I grew up in West Texas so school spirit has always been a big part of texas schools. It's a fun way to keep the students engaged. I get that sports can be overwhelming for those not involved. I didn't feel that this was the case while my daughter attended. So many of the very negative comments on this page I feel are focused too much on one aspect of the school, which isn't fair. The administration really does care about your students wellbeing as well as the teachers. This is not always the case. Prosper is a great school that still has a hometown feel.

Prosper ISD is phenomenal. The administration is very attentive and always quick to answer questions and address issues. My kids have thrived at PHS. I cannot say enough good things about it.

My learning challenged little girl has always gotten the extra attention she needs. From extra tutoring and individual help, teachers have gone out of their way to include her and push her towards success. I would recommend to anyone!

Prosper High School is by far the best high school my daughter has attended. We moved a couple times so she's been to two others. Great district all around!

Excellent! My son feels so encouraged by both his coaches and peers. The teachers really expect students to treat each other with respect. Very good atmosphere here!
