Plano High School has been a decent experience, they have their good or bad people here like anywhere else you may find. But overall my experience has been well, I met a good amount of kind people here. Including teachers who are more than willing to give you help when you ask. The food needs a little more work, but the people are kind here when you treat them well in return.
