Summary:
Katherine Anne Porter School is the sole high school serving grades 7-12 in the Wimberley, Texas area. This public charter school has a total enrollment of 86 students, with a student body that is 75.58% White, significantly higher than the state average. Despite some academic strengths, the school faces challenges in terms of its graduation rate and inconsistent performance on state assessments.
One of the school's standout features is its strong performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in subjects like Biology, English II, and U.S. History, where proficiency rates exceed state averages. Additionally, the school boasts an impressive 0.0% dropout rate for the 2021-2022 school year. However, the school's four-year graduation rate of 55.6% is below the state average, indicating a need for strategies to support student retention and on-time graduation.
While Katherine Anne Porter School has some academic strengths, its mixed results on STAAR assessments, with some grades and subjects exceeding state averages while others fall short, suggest the need for a closer evaluation of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and targeted interventions. Additionally, the school's high percentage of White students may warrant further investigation into enrollment and recruitment practices to ensure equitable access for all students in the Katherine Anne Porter School district.
