Oglesby School

Oglesby is a tight-knit rural community in Coryell County, about halfway between Waco and Killeen, where small-town Texas life is very much alive — think Friday night football and neighbors who know your name. Oglesby School serves all grades under one roof, which gives it a close community feel, but families focused on academic performance may want to weigh the school's scores carefully, particularly in math and science where there's room to grow. For families already rooted in the area who value a small, connected school environment over competitive academics, this is the kind of place where every kid is known and no one gets lost in the crowd.
