For the sixth consecutive year, the Boerne Independent School District aced its Texas Education Agency review, receiving an “A” rating for both the 2024 and 2025 school years in the agency’s A-F accountability ratings released Wednesday.
The Comfort ISD came in with a “C” rating for the 2025 campaign, accumulating a score of 78, just two points below the “B” threshold.
Boerne ISD Superintendent Dr. Kristin Craft hailed the district’s continued dedication to student achievement and the results such effort produces.
“Our theme for this year is ‘Legacy Built, Future Ready,’ and today’s TEA scores embody that theme. Boerne ISD has a proud history and we are helping every student reach a bright future,” Craft said.
“As the state of Texas keeps challenging districts to create educational experiences that set students up for future success, we are proud that Boerne ISD has been able to rise to the occasion,” she added.
In 2024, Boerne ISD earned its “A” with 28 Distinction Designations, according to a Boerne ISD press statement. In 2025, the district earned 27 Distinction Designations, leading to yet another “A” rating.
Larissa Flores, Boerne ISD chief instructional officer, said the continual “A” ratings reflect the district’s dedication to academic excellence.
“We often share our 99% graduation rating and 95% college, career and military ratings as points of pride because they are so worthy of being shared,” Flores said. “This accountability score reflects that at every milestone along their educational path, from early childhood literacy to middle school math and science and beyond.
“Our students are surpassing expectations and doing more of the high impact learning we’re known for providing than ever before,” Flores added.
Analysis of the data shows all but four BISD schools received “A” ratings, with just Viola Wilson, Currington, Herff and Kendall elementaries receiving “B” ratings.
TEA figures show that 24% of districts improved their ratings from 2024 to 2025 — Comfort being among them.
Comfort came in with a “D” in 2024, based on an overall score of 67, but raised that more than 10 points, to a “C” in 2025 with their 78 score.
CISD’s overall 78 score was achieved with a 77 in student achievement — up from a 68 scored in 2024 — and 74 scores in school progress (61 in ‘24), academic growth (a 59 in ‘24) and relative performance (61 in ‘24).
TEA rated 1,208 districts and 9,084 campuses in 2025. Compared with 2024:
• 24% of districts and 31% of campuses improved their letter grade.
• Most maintained their previous rating.
• Only 15% saw a decline.
• 43% of high-poverty campuses earned an A or B.
Overall grades for districts are calculated using a proportionality method that determines how much each campus grade impacts the district rating, based on the number of students enrolled in grades 3-12 at each campus.
Of a district’s overall score, 70% of the score comes from the “Student Achievement” category, while the remaining 30% comes from “Closing The Gaps,” which uses data to demonstrate differentials among ethnic/racial groups, socioeconomic backgrounds and other factors.
