My twins are going to Wyatt for the last year and really love this school. The teachers are wonderful and really connects to the kids and send regular email updates to us. School staff esp. Mrs. White at the front desk is very friendly and helpful.

Wyatt offers a fantastic environment for the all round development of children during their most formative years. I have a 1st grader and a fourth grader and each year has only gotten better! The parent community is extremely engaged and so are the dedicated team of teachers and staff. Its amazing that they know each child personally, and thats amply evident in the details they provide during the conferences, its a priviledge to be a part of Wyatt..Go Wallaroos!!

What a marvelous school! The attitude of the teachers and staff is positive and cheerful. There is a kindness and respect for the leadership, and the Principal is so connected with the children and parents. The test scores speak volumes about what is taking place at our great school! Go Wallaroos!

This is one of the BEST schools within Plano ISD. The current Principal is amazing at her job and balances compassion and leadership flawlessly. The Special Ed department is incredible, and the attitude of the teachers and staff is positive and hopeful. Students attending this school should feel privileged to do so! Well done Wyatt!
