School Overview

Waco High School sits in the heart of a city that's seen a real resurgence in recent years, thanks in part to Baylor University's growing presence and the broader revitalization of downtown Waco. The school draws a large, diverse student body, and families who choose it tend to be committed to navigating a big, urban campus where the academics are challenging enough but the real growth often comes from the breadth of experiences available in a city school. It's a better fit for families who thrive in that energetic, city-school environment than those seeking a smaller, more intimate setting.
