Summary

Wimberley High School is a mid-sized public high school in the Hill Country town of Wimberley, TX, serving 820 students in grades 9-12 as part of the high-performing Wimberley Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional consistency and strong academic results. It has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for ten consecutive years, with a state ranking that has remained remarkably stable. Wimberley boasts a 98% graduation rate and a near-zero dropout rate of 0.2%, which matches the elite rate of nearby Dripping Springs High School and significantly outperforms larger schools like Jack C Hays High School (94.8%) and Moe And Gene Johnson High School (93.2%). Students show strong proficiency on key STAAR exams, particularly in Biology (85.2%), English I Reading (75.5%), and U.S. History (82.4%), outperforming both Canyon Lake High School and the larger Hays CISD schools. The school also excels in supporting Special Education students, ranking in the 75th percentile for this group, and demonstrates efficient spending with per-student costs of $11,821.

However, there are notable areas for improvement. Wimberley consistently underperforms in Algebra I, with a proficiency rate of 53.6% that falls below the district average and is roughly on par with the state average—a stark contrast to its other high scores. Additionally, while the school is highly effective for female, gifted, and special education students, it faces a critical challenge with English Language Learner (ELL) students, whose ranking dropped dramatically from the 63rd to the 6th percentile in recent years. Compared to the nearby Katherine Anne Porter School, which shows pockets of excellence in English and History but struggles with a 77.4% graduation rate, Wimberley provides a more structured and supportive environment for the vast majority of its students to graduate on time.
