GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall WHS was a great school. There could be some changes like putting the water fountains back and maybe offer more flexibility for classes taken. Other than that, I really liked how casual it was. There wasn't any kids or teachers there that didn't care about anything or made the learning environment worse. To put it simply, if you need to chose between WHS and any other school, I'd go WHS 8 times out of 10.

This is the most toxic, unsafe school my children have ever attended. Your children are not monitored and education is not their main priority.

Wimberley High School is an overall good school if you're looking for the basic high school experience. I've noticed that it can truly go both ways, good or bad, in all situations. They are very biased toward athletes (which I guess is predictable of a Texas school). Some teachers are truly amazing, some are just coaches filling spots. It's a very interesting dynamic.

My son played all the sports, was on the honors society, middle of...

This school is not an inclusive school. If your child doesn't fit inside the box they are an outcast. They teach for test scores not for learning. You must color in the lines or there will be a target on you. Being a single parent...is not inside the lines. Not being an active member of the PTA (I w...

Very good. As a parent I feel my daughter is receiving a high education. The Career and Technical Education Department is one of the best in the State. The facilities are new and state of the art. I’m very thankful for the atmosphere my child is in here. The teachers are great and challenge the stud...
