Small classes, good teachers, fantastic school spirit. Many students go to Tx A&M college station but some go to UT. Athletics is best in the area. Girls basketball made final 4; boys team been to final 4 many times. Good football and Girls track won Regional Meet and qualified for state. Coaches have been there for a long time and care about their students. Good band and drama programs. Recently built state of the art new high school. My kid went to princeton after graduating from West Oso. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants a good education and extracurricular activities in a small school setting. Approx 525 students.

This school is the best. I think teir volleyball team with ta or anastasia fillmore is the best team they could ever have and ta is a great friend too.This school may be boarderlined in grades but this school is very advanced and not as much problems as ccisd schools. I am a former west oso student now attending miller and miller is not as good as west oso.
