Weimar J H, Weimar TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Weimar J H

Weimar Junior High serves grades five through eight in a small rural Texas town situated between Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. The school enrolls a modest number of students spread roughly evenly across its four grade bands. Roughly half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a working-class student population typical of rural Texas.

The school's mathematics performance is mixed. Fifth graders achieve a majority proficiency level, and eighth graders hold steady roughly two-thirds, but proficiency dips noticeably in sixth and seventh grades, with seventh grade showing the lowest math results. English-language arts results run in a similar range, with fifth and sixth graders performing somewhat better than seventh and eighth graders. Science is a clear weaker subject: only about a third of fifth graders meet proficiency, though eighth-grade science improves to roughly half. Social studies, tested only in eighth grade, shows marked difficulty, with only about a quarter of students proficient. Across tested subjects, the school sits above the midpoint for overall proficiency when measured against other districts in Colorado County.

The student population is predominantly Hispanic and white, with a smaller Black population and very small numbers of other groups. The school's racial composition reflects the broader demographics of Weimar and surrounding Colorado County.

Recent district-level changes directly touch students here. Weimar ISD deployed dedicated school resource officers on campus for daily security, weekly door sweeps, and closed-campus enforcement in place of relying on police visits. In spring 2025, the district installed a unified, modern security system across all buildings with cloud-based surveillance, card readers, and video intercoms at entry points. At the junior high level, the district shifted its career exploration requirement to seventh grade and introduced iCEV, a new digital curriculum for Career and Technical Education classes in eighth grade. The district adopted the Texas Teacher Incentive Allotment, a state program offering extra pay to retain high-performing teachers, and completed a significant facilities expansion in early 2022 that added space to both the elementary and junior high buildings and built a new field house.

A parent considering Weimar Junior High would find a small rural school with mixed proficiency results, stronger performance in math and ELA than in science and social studies. The student body is roughly balanced between Hispanic and white students, with a substantial share economically disadvantaged. The school operates within a district that has made visible investments in campus security, career pathway exposure at an earlier grade, and teacher retention. Science instruction may be worth investigating directly with the school if that is a particular concern. The environment reflects a rural community school serving families within and around Weimar itself, without the specialized programs or competitive profiles found in larger suburban or urban districts.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
