Waco high is a very diverse school with an amazing tight knit community. It can be hard to find a group at first but the great part of its size is the variety of people.

Waco High School promotes diversity allowing for each student to shine and be unique. Waco high school has created an environment where students are able to let their imagination reach the sky.

Here at Waco High, I can say that the best parts are just the students & faculty. They give you a sense of acknowledgement & push you to be your very best day in & day out. However, most of the experiences are bad as acadeic wise, its not very profound & up to date. I would like to see better upgrades all around to the school not only for those students who want more, but who will always strive to be better every day.

Let's face it, every school has its problems. Waco's are just exploited by a very biased media. Here's the facts: the real world isn't perfect. It's filled with challenges and hardships that require thinking on your toes and toughening up. Waco prepares you for that better than any school in the are...
