With the right mix of an experienced faculty and administration,
un-crowded classrooms, first-rate facilities and superb support from parents and other
members of the community, the Weatherford schools help produce young people ready to
succeed in a complex world. The district’s 156 teachers have an average of 14.2 years
teaching experience. Its nine administrators average 20 years in the field. Students drop
out at a rate that is two-thirds less than the state average, and score about five percent
higher than their statewide counterparts on the ACT test.
Community and business leaders offer generous support to the school system. Parents are encouraged to be partners in the education of their children. A wide range of dedicated leaders are responsible for the success of such programs as the Weatherford Education Foundation, 11 booster clubs, a fruitful partnership with the Weatherford Area Chamber of Commerce, the Drug Free Advisory Board, and Eagle Ambassadors, which is a partnership consisting of high school students and community non-profit organizations. More than 2,000 students
attend five Weatherford schools. The Administration office is at 516 N. Broadway, 772-3327.
