GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I'm a freshman (9th) at shepton high school in Plano independent school district and i'm new to this school since October and I'm reviewing this review in December the Best part about shepton high school is the students are 90 percent well behaved and some students are calm and some not but its okay the teachers here are very chilling and calmly they are like interesting excited and teaching about new things for students to learn and another best part about it is the food the food there is delicious and well balanced and better ingredient meals and also I like when they give me options for sports clubs Activites and other things they have select the bad part about shepton is not really a issue at all and I think there's no bad part about shepton lets just say that students are blaming and getting each in trouble and overall this school is like a 8 to 9 out of 10

Shepton High School is a total disgrace, clearly Plano ISD's most abhorrent mistake. My son, transferring from Allen's prestigious system in his freshman year, instantly suffered. He plummeted from being top-tier to totally incompetent here, a despicable, failing campus I refuse to even honor with t...
