    #3 Best Public High School Teachers in Waco Area

    Senior: They have many options for classes with a wide range of difficulty levels. The school is massive in footage and population, but there’s crammed hallways and full classrooms. They are frequently changing rules with dress codes, ID’s, schedules, etc., but they really want to make the best for their students safety and preference. All staff are friendly. Their website could use some assistance, as it is hard to navigate.
    I personally discovered what I want to study in college while I was in high school at Midway, specifically through the Fashion Design classes. Midway makes sure all students are prepared to graduate, and given all the information needed to make it to and in college!

    #5 Best Public High School Teachers in Waco Area

    Senior: Clifton High School has a very strong Agricultural and Mechanics, Criminal Justice, and FCLA. I've learned a lot more than I would ever dreamed of and for as small of a town it is. I'd compare it to when I lived in Houston. I wish the school leaned more into the technological field such as Computer science. Although does greatly where it is today! The teachers are extremely nice and understanding of each individual students' situation in life and sets personal beliefs aside to create a welcoming environment for every student that enters it's doors.

    Niche User: Overall I just think it's a great school. I feel like it was a friendly and welcoming school.

  9. China Spring High School

    • China Spring Independent School District, TX
    • 9-12
    • 233 reviews
    #8 Best Public High School Teachers in Waco Area

    Junior: All of the teachers and administrators are very kind and clearly want the students to succeed. My math teachers were my favorite and have helped me achieve mathematics understanding greater than anything I could have ever imagined. Marching band is one of the most important parts of my high school experience. I have served as a drum major for the past year and it has changed my life; I have learned so many leadership skills and made life-long friendships. The only complaint I have about China Spring is the poor science department. I have taken both both honors chemistry and AP chemistry and both of them have been taught by teachers who never taught chemistry before and seriously struggled to teach effectively. I am very worried about the rather lack-luster science department as I wish to go into a biological or chemical science. Aside from that, however, China Spring has treated me very well with history and English, as well as the arts and I am very satisfied with my education.

They are always willing to go the extra mile for the students. Robinson also offers off campus lunches to 11th and 12th graders. The parking for 10th-12th graders is nice as well. You can paint your parking spot!

    #10 Best Public High School Teachers in Waco Area

    Freshman: At West High, you are constantly bombarded with new and exciting challenges in every class. You are also surrounded by teachers who care about not just your grades, but you as an individual. The students at West are very friendly, social, and trustworthy; they are willing to listen to you about your problems and will help you get through tough times. On top of it all, West provides MANY club opportunities and sports groups to join! We have over eighty students in our band program alone, not to mention our Biomedical, Engineering, Aerospace, Agriculture, and Computer Science classes. Overall, I feel that West can provide for me academically, as well as make me proud of where I studied as a teenager.

    • 9-12
    • 22 reviews
    #13 Best Public High School Teachers in Waco Area

    Senior: Bruceville Eddy High School was a great place for me to attend my entire 4 years of High School. The teachers were great listeners and always willing to help with any problem with a smile on their face. The facilities could have used a bit of an update but the food was pretty decent for being school food. Sports were highly important and encouraged and everyone worked hard on any team. There are multiple clubs and activities to choose from that sound appealing and everywhere you turn parents were a huge part in making sure everything ran smoothly. Overall, Bruceville Eddy High School is a great place to let your kids attend to.

    #14 Best Public High School Teachers in Waco Area

    Junior: Personally I’ve enjoyed my experience at Aquila. The teachers and administrators are forgiving for the most part as long as you’re not someone who misbehaves often. Many students are warm and accepting. And the teachers are some of the most intelligent and passionate in my opinion. Overall great school! Only problem I really have is the lack of diversity (can’t really be helped).

    #17 Best Public High School Teachers in Waco Area

    High School Senior: My overall experience at Axtell High School so for has been phenomenal. The teachers and staffs main focus is the educational growth in every student, the student body is abundant with the most loving and intellectually gifted young men and women in the state of Texas and the athletics program is beyond any "average" standard for any small school. One of my favorite experiences is working with the community in Axtell and witnessing the shear dedication and enthusiasm both the students and the public share alike. Axtell is a unique school due to the fact it is so intertwined with the community that the school its self feels like one giant family. I would most definitely choose this astounding school if I were to do my whole high school experience once again.

    #20 Best Public High School Teachers in Waco Area

    Senior: Mexia High School is a very diverse school. There are so many different groups of people in this school like the jocks and the nerds. It showed me that no matter how much time progresses that history will repeat itself as many events that happen are predictable with a watchful eye. Yet the best thing about this school is not the school itself, yet the students with weird and quirky personalities. The only thing I would change is the building itself, if I could replace the building yet keep everything else the same the school would be amazing for me.

    Our sports are actually amazing, all the sports have gone really far and I've been a part of that since 7th grade. I couldn't imagine going to another school besides this one. Our staff respect us and love their jobs because they say we make their job the best. I'm really thankful for Valley Mills ISD for providing me with this education and opportunities.

    Barnesville School of Arts & Sciences

    • Private School
    • Barnesville, MD
    • PK, K-8
    • 7 reviews

    Parent: We have been a Barnesville School family for four years! Living in Frederick County, we were limited by the private school options available to us and the classroom sizes for Frederick County public schools are simply too large. That's why we chose to place our daughter at Barnesville School of Arts & Sciences.

    The School's commitment to inclusivity and diversity is a major reason why we love being a part of this community. Also, as an outdoor-centric family, supporters of the arts, and lovers of all-things scientific, we could not have picked a better school. Our daughter has access to nature, STEM, drama, music, art, athletics, and a community culture that cherishes its members.
