Marquee Crandall
We moved here over 5 years ago with a new 2nd grader and a preschooler. We moved from Allen ISD due to Wylie being more affordable with comparable schools. I was a nervous mother with a nervous child. But we have had great experiences the last 5 years.
Birmingham Elementary has now had both boys and our youngest just finished 4th grade and is moving on to Davis. Our oldest starts 8th grade at McMillan and the fine arts program, specifically the band program, has been so positive for him. Our oldest has found his niche and is doing so well both academically and socially. Our youngest finished his kindergarten year virtually and finished 4th grade strong and is doing well and is on track both academically and socially.
