How Wimbish World Language Academy compares with Texas and U.S. medians
What stands out at Wimbish World Language Academy
Teacher staffing is the clearest operational strength
Wimbish World Language Academy's enrollment is not at an extreme, but its student-teacher ratio is: it reports fewer students per teacher than most Texas schools. This is the most distinctive scale-adjusted signal in the federal record. It should be read as staffing capacity, not class size or an academic outcome; the page separately reports attendance, program access, demographics, and district finance so a single favorable ratio does not become an unsupported overall rating.
Need and resources require a component-level read
Wimbish World Language Academy falls within the wide middle of the Texas distribution on both free-meal eligibility and the Resource Investment Index. Neither measure supplies an honest headline by itself. The useful distinctions are in the components: classroom staffing, counselor availability, attendance, gifted-program access, and district spending. Those fields can pull in opposite directions even when the overall percentile looks ordinary.
Student support operates inside a leaner district budget
Wimbish World Language Academy's district reports $11,746 in per-pupil expenditure, at least 15% below the Texas average of $14,348. That district-wide constraint gives the campus-level support fields added meaning: counselor loads, specialist staffing, and program access are being reported within a comparatively lean spending environment. F-33 does not publish this school's own budget, so the comparison describes district context rather than dollars assigned to this building.
Wimbish World Language Academy is a higher-need, mid-sized combined-grade school in Arlington, Texas, enrolling 411 students.
Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 11.4:1 puts it in the smaller third of Texas schools by student-teacher ratio.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 71.0% lands close to the Texas typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
With 411 students, its enrollment sits close to the Texas median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 8,960 scored Texas schools.
Against 1,492 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #297.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (70%) and African American (14%) (diversity index 48/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 411 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
17.5% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
Its district draws 19.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Arlington Isd also operates Martin H S (3,535 students) and Sam Houston H S (3,208 students) alongside Wimbish World Language Academy.
