Wimberley High School consistently performs well academically, with higher proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course exams compared to the state average across subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History. The school also boasts an exceptional four-year graduation rate, ranging from 95.5% to 99.4% over the past few years, well above the state average. Additionally, Wimberley High School's dropout rates have been consistently low, ranging from 0.0% to 0.9% during the same period. The school's strong performance extends to its student subgroups, with its White and Gifted and Talented students ranking in the top 50% of Texas high schools, though its performance for English Language Learners and At-Risk students is relatively lower.

Compared to nearby schools like San Marcos High School and Moe And Gene Johnson High School, Wimberley High School outperforms them in academic metrics, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. This success may be attributed to the school's demographic makeup, which is predominantly White, as well as its higher level of per-student funding, which has increased over the years. While Wimberley High School is a top-performing school in the region, the district could focus on addressing the needs of its English Language Learners and At-Risk students to ensure more equitable outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
