Summary

Danforth J H is a middle school in Wimberley, TX, serving 639 students in grades 6-8 as part of the high-performing Wimberley Independent School District (Isd). This school has a strong track record, earning a 4-star rating for the past decade and consistently ranking among the top middle schools in the region.

Danforth J H truly shines in advanced math, with an exceptional 91.55% of students proficient in Algebra I—far exceeding the state average of 54.03% and even outperforming nearby high-achieving schools like Sycamore Springs Middle and Dripping Springs Middle. The school also excels in reading, with proficiency rates 10-20 points above the state average across all grades, and has maintained a perfect 0.0% dropout rate for five years. Another standout area is its work with special education students, ranking in the 90th percentile—a remarkable achievement compared to many other schools. However, the school faces a significant challenge with English Language Learner students, who rank in the 4th percentile, a sharp decline from previous years. Additionally, while Algebra I scores are stellar, grade-level math proficiency for 7th graders was only 20.47%, below the state average, suggesting the school focuses heavily on accelerating top math students.

Compared to nearby schools, Danforth J H fits into a cluster of elite middle schools that includes Eric Dahlstrom Middle and R C Barton Middle, all ranking in the 80th-90th percentiles. This sets them apart from schools in the Hays Consolidated Independent School District and San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District, which rank much lower. Notably, Danforth J H achieves these results while spending less per student ($9,115) than many of its peers, indicating efficient use of resources. The school's demographic makeup has also shifted recently, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch dropping from 34.4% to 22.2% in one year, which may influence its comparative rankings.
