Boerne ISD Weighs School Zone Shakeup as Middle Schools Near Capacity

Boerne ISD families could see their kids' school assignments shift as soon as the 2027-2028 school year, with a district committee weighing changes that would shuffle students between Boerne Middle School North, Voss Middle School and Fabra Elementary. The proposal under discussion would move students in the Esperanza neighborhood out of the Boerne Middle School North zone and into the Voss Middle School zone, while placing all Fabra Elementary students into the Boerne Middle School North zone rather than splitting them between two middle schools.

San Antonio Districts Grade GPAs Differently, New Texas Law Could Force a Fix

San Antonio's school districts don't agree on how to calculate a student's grade point average, and the gap matters: Northside ISD scores AP courses on an eight-point scale while docking dual-credit and honors classes to five points, North East ISD uses a 1.15 multiplier for AP versus 1.08 for dual credit, and Alamo Heights ISD runs its own separate formula entirely. A new Texas rule aims to erase those differences. Separately, Alamo Heights ISD's grading controversy stemmed from inconsistencies in grading documents and communication about a district policy change.

Two Hometown Kids Built Medina Valley's $264M Second High School

A steep, 90-foot drop in elevation and soil that shifts under pressure might have stopped a lesser project.

High school class rank policies are different in every San Antonio district. A new state law could change that.

The way San Antonio high schools calculate grade-point average — determining how graduating seniors measure up against one another — changes from district to district. In fact, almost no GPA policy is exactly the same across Texas. Some policies use multipliers, others use eight-point scales, others four-point scales. Districts also assign different weights to different courses, using their own judgment of how rigorous classes are.
