Both Boerne and Boerne-Champion high schools have made U.S. News and World Report’s Best High School Rankings list for 2026-27.
U.S. News assesses over 27,000 public schools each year and ranks nearly 18,000, according to the media outlet.
Criteria include college readiness, the breadth of college curriculum offered, state assessment proficiency, performance on state assessments, underserved student populations and graduation rates.
Boerne High School came in at 210 in Texas and 1,664 nationally, while Boerne-Champion High School was listed at 157 in Texas and 1,211 in the country.
The Boerne Independent School District is one of only 30 districts in the state to achieve seven straight A-ratings from the Texas Education Agency.
The district maintains a 99.2% graduation rate and a college, career, mi l i tary readiness mark of 98%, among the highest in the state, according to TEA.
“There are nearly 3,400 public high schools across Texas. Only 2,297 qualified to be ranked by U.S. News and World,” said Larissa Flores, Boerne ISD chief instructional officer. “Having our two stellar high schools rank so highly not just in Texas, but nationally, is a testament to the work our educators do to prepare our students for an ever-changing future. We are honored to be included.”
Superintendent Kristin Craft said the achievement speaks well for Boerne ISD.
“The state of Texas has high standards for its students,” Craft said. “As a district, exposing them to challenging and rigorous curriculum is something that our families expect and our students deserve.”
She added, “ I’m proud of all of our teachers for helping us achieve this. We all do our part to prepare students for whatever adventures await them. From the littlest kindergarteners to our graduating seniors, Boerne ISD teachers and staff are here for every student, every day.”
The district serves more than 11,180 pupils across Kendall, Comal and Bexar counties, officials said.
