The three public schools in Weimar, Texas—Weimar Elementary (PK-4), Weimar J H (5-8), and Weimar High School (9-12)—serve 732 students within the highly-rated Weimar Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 13% of all Texas districts. The standout is Weimar J H, which has transformed into a powerhouse of improvement, jumping from the 63rd to the 90th percentile in state rankings over three years and earning a rare 5-star rating. A remarkable 100% of its students passed the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, a perfect score that far exceeds state averages. Meanwhile, Weimar High School is a consistent performer with a 95.9% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, though it excels in Biology (82.14% proficiency) while struggling with Algebra I (52.08% proficiency). Weimar Elementary remains a solid, stable school with a 4-star rating, though its ranking percentile has dipped slightly to the 72nd percentile.
Key metrics show a district that is both efficient and effective. Student-teacher ratios are favorable, with the high school at 10:1, the elementary at 12.6:1, and the middle school at 13.6:1. Spending per student varies, with the high school spending the most at $14,009, while the elementary ($11,304) and middle school ($10,771) spend less—yet all achieve strong results. Socioeconomic need is moderate and consistent across schools, with free or reduced lunch rates ranging from 50.88% to 55.86%.
An interesting takeaway is the contrast between the middle school's perfect Algebra I scores and the high school's below-average Algebra I proficiency, suggesting the high school's math students may be a different, less-prepared cohort. Overall, the district demonstrates low spending relative to its high performance, pointing to efficient resource use and cohesive leadership from elementary through high school. For parents, Weimar offers a strong, well-rounded educational system with a particularly impressive middle school program.
