Boerne High School

Summary:

Boerne High School is a public high school serving 1,356 students in grades 9-12 in Boerne, Texas, which is part of the highly-ranked Boerne Independent School District. The school consistently performs among the top 20% of Texas high schools, with strong graduation rates, low dropout rates, and excellent test scores, particularly for its White and multi-racial student populations.

Boerne High School's strengths include a 4-year graduation rate ranging from 96.9% to 99.1% over the past 5 years, well above the state average, and very low dropout rates of 0.0% to 0.5%. Students also outperform state and district averages on STAAR End-of-Course exams, with proficiency rates as high as 84.59% in some subjects. The school spends between $8,949 and $9,704 per student, more than the state average, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.1 to 15.8. However, the school faces challenges in addressing the academic needs of its Hispanic and English Language Learner students, who lag behind their peers.

Compared to nearby schools, Boerne High School outperforms Comfort High School in the lower-ranked Comfort Independent School District. But it falls short of the exceptional results of the highly-ranked Basis San Antonio-Shavano Campus, a public charter school in the Basis Texas district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
