About Weimar H S

Weimar H S is a regular public high school serving grades 9 through 12 in Weimar, Texas, with an enrollment of 199 students. Its 9.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio gives students considerably more direct access to instruction than most Texas public schools can offer. The numbers make the case plainly.

Weimar H S earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — driven by a 9.4 academic score and a 9.2 growth score. That growth figure is particularly meaningful: it reflects how much students advance year over year, not just where they start. The school ranks 12th among 1,699 public high schools in Texas, putting it in a tier that fewer than 1 percent of the state's high schools reach.

Zooming out to the full Texas public school universe, Weimar H S ranks 129th out of 8,547 schools and outperforms 98 percent of its peers statewide. For families weighing options in the area, that kind of consistency across both academic achievement and student growth is rare at any enrollment size — and notably rare at a school this small. Parents seeking a high school where individual students get attention and results follow should look closely here.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 199 students, Weimar H S is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 9.9:1, Weimar H S offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

Located in a rural area, Weimar H S may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
