GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Their education level is very low. Many teachers are rude and don't care about the students. The people that run certain events are very unfair.

Despite some changes definitely needing to be made on the school board, Waskom ISD is one of the best districts to raise your kids in east Texas. Every district has their problems but Waskom has made me and my family feel a part of everything from academics to sports and band! We love Waskom

School spirit is at an all time high coming off an amazing football season. That's it. If you want your child to become average, this is the school for you. Teachers are average, administration is average, and some board members do not have school aged children , but are responsible for our children...
