About Wimberley Independent School District
Wimberley Independent School District enrolled 2,691 students in 2024-25 across four campuses centered on the city of Wimberley (incorporated May 2000; 2020 Census population 2,839) in the Texas Hill Country approximately 38 miles southwest of Austin. The district covers most of Wimberley and the city of Woodcreek, extending into both Hays and Comal counties.

WISD operates Blue Hole Primary School (PK-2), Jacob's Well Elementary (3-5), Danforth Junior High (6-8) and Wimberley High School (9-12). Blue Hole Primary opened in 2020 under a 2018 bond and was designed as the first "One Water" school in Texas, treating and reusing water on site in recognition of the area's spring-fed hydrology; the campus carried the name Scudder Primary before the move. Wimberley High School, at 100 Carney Lane, competes in UIL Class 4A. The mascot is the Texans; school colors are red, white and blue, and the principal is Ryan Wilkes.
The Texans' athletics program has produced titles across several sports. State titles include football (2005 in 3A Division 1; 2011 in 3A Division 2), volleyball (1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006 and 2007 in 3A; 2024 in 4A Division 2), team tennis (2021 and 2023 in 4A), girls soccer (2026 in 4A Division 2 — a 3-1 win over Sunnyvale on April 9 and the program's first soccer title), and One Act Play (1993 in 2A; 2001 in 3A).
The Wimberley area sits at the confluence of Cypress Creek and the Blanco River. Two signature water features lie inside or adjacent to the city. Jacob's Well is an artesian karst spring feeding Cypress Creek, with a surveyed underwater cave system of about 6,000 feet and a maximum depth of 137 feet; hays County Parks manages the surrounding Jacob's Well Natural Area on Mt. Sharp Road. The spring has ceased flowing five times since 2000 — most recently in 2022 — and swimming there has been suspended since June 2022. Blue Hole is a cypress-shaded swimming hole inside the City of Wimberley's 126-acre Blue Hole Regional Park, which also has about four miles of trails; swimming there is by reservation during the summer season. The Wimberley Square along RR 12 and Old Kyle Road is the city's commercial heart, hosting restaurants, art galleries and antique shops. The Wimberley Lions Club hosts Market Days at Lions Field on the first Saturday of each month from March through December, with 490 booths on 20 oak-shaded acres.
