We, like the other reviewer, wanted nothing more than to love this school. However, after one…read moremonth of our kindergartener's cries about being hurt and then witnessing it myself when I was told by my 5 year old to "come protect" him on the playground; we removed him from the Wimberley public school system. I hope ours was an isolated experience and that bullying isn't as prevalent and normalized as it seems at this school; but when your five year old is punched in the face on the second day of school and it only goes downhill from there, you have to wonder. Prior to removing our son from school we did seek help from the faculty and while they responded with ideas to help our son like, letting him go to another room rather than the playground, we felt their inability to acknowledge and rectify the actual problem was unacceptable. We left the meeting feeling like our family was the problem and our expectations of safety and supervision were not attainable without isolating our son from the rest of the students in the school. One of the reasons we moved to Wimberley were the school reviews and the student/teacher ratio being 15 to 1. My son's kinder class had 20 students to 1 this year. Multiple school staff members told me that they had too many kids to watch them all, all the time, including when sending them down the hall where there could be 4-5 of them unattended in the bathroom at one time. When asked about a rover TA or hall monitor I was told they didn't do that; but my son could be taken to the nurse to use the bathroom separately if that's what he needed so he wasn't afraid to go to the bathroom (he was hit there among other incidents). I'm happy to say that after 2 days in a school with "nice kids who don't hit me" my son is starting be okay with going school again. As it turns out, and contrary to what the individuals working at Scudder believe, it's not an unrealistic expectation for kids to be monitored closely or to think that hitting, punching, and shoving others to the ground repeatedly shouldn't be normalized. Beware of this school and please listen to your kids if they go to Scudder and tell you they are experiencing bullying. I would have kept believing it wasn't as bad as my kid was saying (what we were told by a teacher) if I hadn't sat in the parking lot, watched him be hurt and then had to stop it myself because no one was paying attention to him.

As a mama to 4 and with a husband who has a job that has moved us around we have been enrolled in a…read moretotal of 5/6 public schools throughout Texas with our oldest being just 11. We even had a year of homeschooling in this mix. We came to Wimberley in August 2019 and have kids at Scudder AND the middle school. I have never seen a school with teachers or staff so invested in their students. I have never seen my children thrive the way they have in their short time here. They aren't just a number. The teachers ask about their weekend, notice their hair cut and take interest in what they like. They encourage them to try new things and build them up with words of affirmation daily! We have a son who has ADHD and Ms. Caldwell has been the biggest angel to him. She understands him, gives grace and is patient always. She loves him and teaches him in more ways than just academics. My faith has been restored in public schools after being here and I will forever be thankful we found this sweet and small town! We are now being relocated again and the bar has been set HIGH. I now have a different perspective for what's a "great school." It's not how new it is or how much technology they have or if they have the latest and greatest. It's not any of those things. It's how invested they are, how involved is their community, how involved are the parents? What is the class size like? How are they teaching your children and what are they teaching your children? Academics get you so far in life but teaching them to be kind, independent, hard working and so much more builds character and sets them up for a successful future AND wimberley ISD has done just this! Thank you for loving my babies and giving us the experience no other school ever has! @southernsudsandsimpleliving

At the start of junior year I was diagnosed with ADHD + others (anxiety, etc) , & on my diagnosis paper, it states that extra time would be beneficial. I have contacted many adults at this school to help me with getting 504 accommodations. One laughed in my face & told me that I would probably never be getting these accommodations. This school is full of adults stuck in the past, who do not take this seriously, especially if u r diagnosed at a later age. They told me this process would take 6 weeks-- it has been months. My psychologist & parents have contacted them about my ADHD. Nothing. They insist on using school grades to determine if someone needs extra time instead of taking the experiences of the student/student's family into account. It is almost like enjoy seeing their students struggle; they think that this struggle means hard work. They take pride in not allowing their students to switch classes b/c they think they r raising the next generation of Einsteins. They watch me cry in the halls & do nothing. There is a big lack of empathy present in both students & adults in this school. The students r constantly looking for ways to bring each other down. It's like everyone has had their soul sucked out of them-- compared to everyone I feel very immature; students r very serious & act like they're in college. Students see more APs & NHS as a "flex" & consider themselves superior to u. I refuse to join clubs b/c of the hostile student body. I had a friend (junior also)get a suspension for defending himself against a freshmen-- this includes ISS & bus suspension. His parents r divorced & his only way home was by bus. The freshmen who was shouting slurs/attempted to physically injure my friend has not been expelled yet, but u can now get expelled for cheating on a test. I've written long paragraphs to teachers describing my experiences w/ ADHD. i feel like I constantly have to beg to them for understanding & extra time. Some r not even present during their designated office hours. Some also clearly treat freshmen worse than upperclassmen. Majority of students come from immigrant households, such as myself, and work only for parent validation ("u kids have it easy, back in my country we..."). This school has stripped me of my love for learning.
