Waco High School is not as bad as it seems for individual wise as long as you hang around the right people. Some teachers are not very thorough with their teaching due to students not caring. However, as long as you do the higher-level classes (ap, pre-ap, dual credit) and involve yourself in the fine arts (especially marching band), you will find a great community like a diamond in the rough.

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.

My two graduates from Waco High have been highly successful at one of Texas' most rigorous colleges. We had a great experience at Waco High.

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...
