Summary

Katherine Anne Porter School (KAPS) is a small public charter high school in Wimberley, TX, serving 95 students in grades 8 through 12 as its own single-school district. This intimate campus offers a highly personalized learning environment with a student-to-teacher ratio of just 8.8:1, far smaller than nearby traditional high schools like Wimberley High School (14.5:1) or Dripping Springs High School (16.5:1).

KAPS shows a striking contrast in academic performance. The school excels in English Language Arts, with 84.62% of students proficient in English I and 75% in English II—well above state averages and competitive with top area schools. U.S. History proficiency is also strong at 87.5%. However, mathematics is a critical weakness: only 11.76% of students achieved proficiency in Algebra I, compared to 54.03% statewide and 53.61% at Wimberley High School. This pattern of high humanities achievement paired with low STEM scores places KAPS in a unique position—more comparable to alternative education campuses like Lamar - Phoenix Alternative Education in math, but far outperforming them in reading and history.

The most significant challenge for KAPS is its graduation rate, which stands at 77.4%—dramatically lower than the 98-99% rates at nearby Canyon Lake High School and Wimberley High School. This suggests the school struggles to retain students through graduation despite its small class sizes and strengths in humanities. Performance also varies widely year-to-year and across student groups, indicating equity challenges. For families considering KAPS, the school offers a supportive, humanities-focused environment for students who may not thrive in large traditional settings, but parents should carefully evaluate the math instruction and ask about supports for improving graduation outcomes.
