How To Qualify
Where Dr Pepper was born, Baylor cheers ring out, and the Brazos River ties it all together, Waco blends small-city Texas charm with a cultural cachet. Roughly halfway between Dallas and Austin -- about 90 miles from each -- this McLennan County seat offers a smaller-town atmosphere without the price tag of a major metro. Tree-lined Castle Heights, the walkable streets surrounding Baylor University, and the residential communities of Woodway each offer their own pace of daily life, from quiet evenings on the porch to weekend afternoons at Magnolia Market at the Silos downtown.
The rental stock covers a wide range of styles and price points. Downtown and the Baylor corridor feature mid-century bungalows converted into rentals, historic apartment communities, and newer loft-style units. Farther out, townhomes and spacious ranch-style houses fill the neighborhoods near Woodway and along the Lake Waco shoreline, while high-rise options provide walkable access to campus or the river.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
