Most of the staff seems like they are there to collect a check and checked out. You can tell which staff members are invested. Short staffed. UnorganizedWhat happened to the passion and psychology of teaching?Fights breaking out right in front of me and police just watching. No attempt to stop or step in.Drop off and pick up are a disaster with traffic, busses and kids crossing without paying attention.The staff literally looks burned out and over it.PARENTS NEED TO DO BETTER SO OUR EDUCATORS CAN CARE AND HELP YOUR CHILD WITH THE SKILLS THEY NEED . We are in a college town .. do better for your child.

Awful experience overall, with only a few exceptions among the staff. My child learned very little here, came home angry almost every day, and was even nearly stabbed by another student—yet the other child faced no suspension. The band teacher frequently complained openly about not being paid enough and about how poor the school was, which was inappropriate to air in front of students and parents. Several teachers were absent for extended periods, and when one quit mid-year, the position was never filled.Communication was poor at best—quick to notify parents when students were in trouble, but almost nonexistent when parents had real questions or concerns about incidents.The building itself is beautiful, and the potential is there for this to be a wonderful place to learn. Unfortunately, the staff culture made it the opposite. Waco ISD should seriously consider addressing professionalism and student support—maybe even start with a reminder to staff about treating children with respect.
