Gholson School is a school located in Waco, TX, serving grades -1–12 and approximately 262 students. Operated by Gholson ISD, the campus sits about 12.6 miles from Waco News's newsroom and is part of Waco News's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 21 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 12.5:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Gholson School is a traditional zoned public school within Gholson ISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.
