Boerne Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Boerne Isd

Boerne ISD is a growing suburban district in Kendall County north of San Antonio that spans PreK through grade 12 and enrolls a mid-sized student body drawn from the Boerne area, Fair Oaks Ranch, Comfort, Helotes, and surrounding communities. The district is predominantly White and Hispanic, with a smaller Asian population; more than a third of students identify as Hispanic. Enrollment data by race and ethnicity appear in the data provided, though free-or-reduced-price lunch rates were not available.

On state assessments administered in 2024-25, Boerne ISD's proficiency results show a split pattern by grade and subject. In elementary English language arts, proficiency is strong: fourth and fifth graders both perform at a solid level, with a substantial majority meeting or exceeding state standards. Math proficiency in grade three is also above the midpoint. By middle school, performance diverges. Eighth-grade results in English language arts, science, and math are solid; sixth-grade reading proficiency reaches the mid-range; but seventh-grade math shows a notable drop, with fewer than half proficient. Across the district overall, English learners in grades three through five on Spanish-language assessments show very low proficiency, which a parent may want to look into further with the school to understand the bilingual program's design and support structures. Science proficiency in fifth grade sits at roughly the midpoint; eighth-grade science is strong. Social studies proficiency in eighth grade is below the midpoint. The district's overall proficiency index, when averaged across tested grades and subjects, places Boerne ISD in the top tier among the two Kendall County districts with state-reported data.

The district has experienced rapid residential growth, and infrastructure investment has followed. In May 2022, voters approved two bonds: one for campus expansion and a technology bond. These funds built a new eighth elementary school, Viola Wilson Elementary, which opened in August 2024 to serve newer residential areas in the northwest part of the district. The bonds also funded expansions at both high schools and both middle schools, design work toward a future third high school, an aquatics learning center, and library upgrades. Additionally, Boerne High School and Champion High School each now host a P-TECH (Pathways in Technology) early college health science pathway, allowing students to earn an associate degree and college credit before graduating from high school, a dual-credit offering that expands career readiness.

Staffing stability has been a challenge. More than a hundred teachers departed the district in 2024, citing lower pay relative to neighboring districts. In response, voters narrowly approved a voter-approval tax rate election in November 2025 that raised the school tax rate to fund teacher salaries and capital needs. Despite this increase, Boerne ISD's school tax burden has fallen substantially over the long run: the tax rate dropped by about 18 cents from roughly the early 2010s through 2022-23, then fell a further quarter penny in 2024, while the state homestead exemption rose to a higher ceiling (higher still for seniors). As a result, most homeowners in the district have seen their school tax bills decline even as nominal rates shifted, a long-term affordability trend material to families considering the area.

Housing in the district is mid-to-upper range for the region. The weighted home value across Boerne ISD's core zip codes stands in the mid-five-hundreds-of-thousands, with some variation by submarket. Boerne proper centers around slightly lower values, while Bergheim to the north and Fair Oaks Ranch to the northeast command somewhat higher prices. Rental stock is also available, with median monthly rent in the low-to-mid-fifteen-hundreds across the contributing zip codes. According to the affordability metrics, median household income in the region supports a rent-to-income ratio of roughly one-fifth, placing rental housing in line with national guidelines.

The district is composed of multiple elementary schools, three middle schools (North, South, and Voss), two high schools (Boerne High and Champion High), and an alternative school. Chronic absenteeism in the district is substantially lower than peer districts in the county, placing it in the top tier. Per-pupil current spending is in the lower range compared to county peers, a factor families may weigh when assessing resource allocation and class sizes.

For families considering Boerne ISD, the district offers growth infrastructure, expanding dual-credit and career pathways, and strong reading outcomes in the elementary grades, paired with solid eighth-grade proficiency across multiple subjects. Seventh-grade math performance and middle-range performance in science and social studies warrant attention. The recent teacher turnover and the tax rate increase to address compensation represent ongoing adjustments to district stability and funding. The housing market is accessible but upper-middle in regional terms, and the long-term tax decline, now reversed with the 2025 increase, reflects the district's evolving fiscal picture.
