If you look at the demographics and results for all three, it is unarguably the top performing public senior high school in DFW. It is large but considering 9-10 grades are housed at Shepton and Jasper, not that large as some bigger high schools in the area. It's size, population and rigor makes transition into colleges very easy, specially giant public schools like UT Austin (50k+ students) etc.

Nothing wrong with Lake Highlands, it's a lovely area.

Thanks for all the information! It really helps!

We're strongly considering Plano West as it seems it has the proven track record.
