Original Research by School Decision on Wilson Co Jjaep
Wilson Co JJAEP is listed as an inactive alternative school operated by La Vernia ISD and located in Floresville. The school no longer appears to be in operation, so families exploring educational options in the area would want to contact La Vernia ISD directly to understand its current status and what alternatives exist for students who might have attended.
The district itself has undergone significant operational and planning changes in recent years. La Vernia ISD adopted a four-day school week (Monday through Thursday) beginning in the 2023-2024 school year as a three-year pilot program. This was a foundational schedule shift made in response to teacher staffing challenges. Under this model, school days are longer and the academic year starts earlier to meet state instructional-minute requirements. The district arranged with local daycares and the YMCA to provide childcare on Fridays to help families manage the schedule change.
The district has also invested in facilities and infrastructure. Voters approved bond measures in May 2023 that funded additional classrooms to accommodate enrollment growth, campus renovations, safety and security upgrades, technology improvements, new buses, and athletic turf replacement. Construction from those bonds began, with a groundbreaking held in late 2024.
Compensation remains an area of concern for the district. In November 2025, voters rejected a proposed increase in the maintenance and operations tax rate intended to raise staff salaries to match neighboring districts. The measure failed despite the school board lowering the interest and sinking rate, which would have kept the combined tax rate lower than the prior year. Teacher recruitment and retention have been ongoing pressures that prompted the four-day week adoption.
Enrollment and demographic information for the school itself was not available. State assessment results, graduation rates, and other academic performance metrics are also not reported, which is typical for alternative schools serving middle grades or for schools that are no longer operational. Anyone seeking information about current middle-school educational options in the La Vernia ISD area should reach out to the district office directly.
