Original Research by School Decision on Boerne Alter Sch
Boerne Alternative School is an alternative school serving kindergarten through twelfth grade within Boerne ISD in Kendall County, Texas. The school carries the alternative designation in its charter status and operational structure.
The available data on this school is limited. No enrollment figures, student demographic breakdowns, or state assessment results are reported in the current dataset, which means a parent cannot see proficiency data, graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, or the racial and economic composition of the student body from the information provided here. The school does offer Advanced Placement coursework. A parent seeking detailed information on academic performance, program specifics, student population, or admission criteria should contact the school directly or visit its website for a fuller picture.
Boerne ISD, the parent district, operates in a context of rapid growth and substantive recent investment. The district approved two bond measures in May 2022 that funded an eighth elementary school (Viola Wilson Elementary, which opened in August 2024), expansions at both Boerne and Champion high schools and at two middle schools, design work for a future third high school, and an aquatics learning center. These projects addressed overcrowding from enrollment growth that continues to reshape the district's footprint. The district also launched a P-TECH early college health science pathway at the high schools, allowing students to earn an associate degree and college credits before high school graduation.
Teacher retention has been a concern. More than a modest number of teachers left the district in 2024, citing lower pay relative to surrounding districts. In response, Boerne ISD voters narrowly approved a property tax increase in November 2025 that raises the tax rate and dedicates revenue to teacher salaries and capital needs. Over a longer arc, however, the district's school tax rate has fallen substantially. It dropped significantly between a past reference year and 2022-23, and declined further in 2024, while the state homestead exemption rose, meaning most homeowners have seen their overall school tax bills decrease despite the recent increase.
The Boerne area sits in a housing market where property values are substantial and rents have climbed modestly year over year. The median home value is well above the state benchmark, and monthly rent levels place housing costs at roughly one-fifth of household income for a renter. The area's median household income is solid. These conditions reflect a community with above-average earning capacity and higher cost of living.
Kendall County contains three school districts, and state testing data were not available for comparison within that universe. Without proficiency or graduation metrics for Boerne Alternative School itself, a parent cannot assess how it performs academically against other schools in the county or how it ranks statewide. A family interested in this school should reach out directly to understand its curriculum, enrollment process, student population, and academic track record.
