Waco Charter School is a elementary school located in Waco, TX, serving grades -1–5 and approximately 175 students. Operated by Waco Charter School, the campus sits about 0.5 miles from Waco News's newsroom and is part of Waco News's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 17 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 10.3:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.
