Wimberley Independent School District (Isd)

The Wimberley Independent School District (Isd) is a high-performing, unified district in Wimberley, Texas, serving approximately 2,661 students across four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, and it ranks in the 87th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating.

Among the schools, Danforth J H stands out as an academic powerhouse, achieving an exceptional 91-92% proficiency rate in Algebra I, which is nearly 40 points above the district and state averages. In contrast, Wimberley High School is a consistent performer with a 98% graduation rate and strong Biology scores (85.19% proficiency), though its Algebra I proficiency drops to 53.61%, suggesting a significant gap in math instruction between the middle and high school levels. Jacob's Well Elementary shows volatility, with a recent decline in state ranking and 3rd-grade math scores (34.68%) falling below the state average, while Blue Hole Pri serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (28.04%) in the district.

Key metrics reveal that the district excels in reading and science but struggles with math, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels. Spending per student varies widely, from $9,115 at Danforth J H to $11,821 at Wimberley High School, yet this does not correlate with performance, as the middle school achieves top results with lower funding. The district maintains favorable student-teacher ratios (14.5 to 16.1) and a very low dropout rate of 0.2%, making it a strong choice for families seeking a supportive academic environment, though parents should note the need for a focused math strategy across all grade levels.
