From a teacher's point of view, this is a great school! I figure it is OK to post as a teacher if I disclose that, because some may use these reviews to inform themselves about whether or not to seek employment here.

The principal is involved, supportive, and knows so many of the students by name. He is my favorite out of the 4 I have worked under.

There is a negative review on here about drugs groups and that he teachers should do something about them, but I can tell you we do all we can. Every provable case at school events or on school grounds results in officers being involved, the student(s) being removed from campus for an extended period of time, and ineligibility from activities. We random drug test any student with a parking permit or involved in any activity and we have K9 sweeps of the parking lot. We do our best and I am not sure what else she wants us to do.

The school works hard to make sure there are a variety of clubs and activities for the kids to get involved in because they believe involved kids are less likely to feel disconnected and get involved in negative habits/groups. There is an anime club, a rock music club, video game club, fishing club, archery club, etc. The idea is to get something for everyone. There are several service oriented clubs and I love seeing the students develop more skill/attention to giving time and organizing charitable efforts.

I see Wylie East as a school for of people who care about others helping teacher kids and encouraging them to care about others as well. It is a great place to work and I am happy to have my own children coming through this school.

This school, while good, is certainly not the best. For one, there are multiple drug groups in the school, which is contaminating the student base. I wish that the staff would take better care of this problem, instead of just letting it hang around. Another major problem is this school has a staff comprised of religious zealots, which I understand, this being the Bible Belt. But in all honesty it can get annoying. Many problems in this school go unsolved.

My daughter goes to this school and all I can say is to STAY AWAY! This school is awful! So many things go on throughout this school that is allowed and no punishment is giving. You basically can get away with anything in this school and not get into trouble. I've seen Dallas public schools to be more decent and strict then this school. If I could take time off of my job and homeschool my child so she didn't have to go here I would!
