Waco Schools, Mclennan County Schools 

    If you have school aged children, and are relocating or considering relocation to the Waco, TX area, you are probably very concerned with finding good schools. Even if you already live in the area, I am sure your interest in your children’s school is of the utmost importance.

    The latest 2009 accountability ratings for Texas Schools is now online. I am sure there are arguments for and against such rating types, but they are nevertheless a type of indicator in how a school system is performing.

    From my observation, the reputation of schools in our area coincides pretty closely with these accountability results. Some of the more popular schools performed very well, while some of the less popular schools performed poorly.

    But just like the ratings, reputations are not always an accurate depiction either. Having lived in many locations in the US and Overseas, it’s easy to get caught up in negative hype about anything. Many times I found that the negativity was unjustified and unfair. But other times, there was good reason for the negativity.

    Having said that, here is a link to the latest ratings. Decipher them as you see fit. Search by McLennan County to get a good overview of our area schools.
