So far the experience has been very off and on. Freshman year was horrible and came with a lot of unsafe situations. This along with my ap classes and college classes was rough. Then sophomore year was even worse. That year there were lot of fights, gun threats, restless nights, etc. As for this year things have really taken a turn. Our new principal has made many great efforts and helped improve everything.
My experience at Waco High was all together a great experience. Although the school was lacking in a few educational resources, the teachers always tried their best to make due with the resources they had available.The advisors and administration tried their best to help the student reach their maximum potential. Overall the experience was great and i graduated with a high gpa
