McKinney Boyd High School

Posted October 9, 2009

My daughter is a freshman at Boyd and enjoys the school, despite the large size. My only complaint is with the Volleyball program at Boyd; it appears that unless your child is a 'club' volleyball player, there is not much chance of making a team. The freshman teams are all club players. Not everyone has the money for their child to participate in club ball. My daughter played volleyball in middle school, but was very disheartened when she did not make one of the freshmen teams. There was definitely a difference in the attention club players received, versus other girls. There were girls who had played on the 'A' team during middle school, but did not make any of the Boyd volleyball teams; these girls were not club players. I think it is very sad that high school athletics has become so 'club' oriented. What message are we sending?

Our school is amazing. We have over 3,000 kids in our school and we maintain a good reputation. We have conquered over McKinney High and McKinney North with our Varsity football team. Which shows that when we put our minds to something we can conquer al.

This review is in response to the previous comments stating that McKinney Boyd High School is a'Great school for the 'Perfect' kids.' McKinney Boyd is a great school that has come a long way from the 3 years ago it opened, and I am not surprised about the judgements (poor judgments). I am also surprised about comments of the Band Directors and Principals. I am currently a member of the McKinney Boyd Band and know that the directors care about each student as long as they give their best effort. I am sorry for whomever feels that way about the directors, yet, maybe they are not the ones that don't care.

I am dumbfounded by the previous review, which inspired me to write my own. McKinney has excellent schools, and its school system is in fact why a large percentage of its population lives there, why it is one of the country's fastest-growing cities, and why property taxes are high. I attended McKinney Boyd from the year it was opened to my graduation, and of course it lacked extracurricular and clubs at first, but within my time there students had founded numerous organizations. I haven't encountered any 'status' effects; look at Plano schools if you want to criticize for that reason. Though the administration can be unfortunately obstinate, the teachers are on your side, and there is nothing at this school deserving of a 1-star rating.
