WCS operates 28 elementary schools, including one K–8 school. Creekside Elementary opened in Fall 2019 and moved into its permanent building in early January 2020.
WCS operates 11 middle schools, including one K–8 school. Legacy Middle School, currently under construction on Henpeck Lane, is scheduled to open in Fall 2020.
WCS operates ten high schools throughout the district. An additional high school was previously planned for opening in 2022, according to the district's 2017 5-year capital outlay plan; however, the district has since chosen to renovate existing high schools to increase capacity in the short term. The district's 10-year building forecast now calls for a new high school opening in Fall 2025.
