School Overview

Waelder is a small ranching community tucked along US-90 in Gonzales County, about an hour southeast of Austin, where the pace is quiet and everyone tends to know everyone. Waelder School serves the whole town in one building, which means families get a tight-knit, all-grades-together experience that's rare to find anywhere. Families who are deeply rooted in the area or looking for a slower, rural lifestyle will feel right at home here, though those prioritizing competitive academics may want to weigh their options carefully given the school's current standing.
