Summary

Herff Elementary in Boerne, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 615 students as part of the highly-regarded Boerne Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide. The school has a strong track record, earning a 5-star rating in three of the last six school years and never dropping below 4 stars. Its standout strength is early literacy: in the 2025-2026 school year, 85.57% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, far exceeding the state average of 51.08% and outpacing the district average of 74.34%. This places Herff among the top elementary schools in the area for early reading, though nearby Cibolo Creek Elementary edges slightly higher at 87.69%.

However, Herff faces a notable challenge in upper-grade math. In the same year, only 61.39% of 5th graders were proficient in math, the lowest among all Boerne ISD elementary schools and well below the district average of 68.78%. This contrasts with its strong 4th-grade math performance (80%) and creates a unique "dip" that parents should be aware of. Science scores are also a concern: just 37.93% of 5th graders were proficient in science in 2024-2025, nearly 10 points below the district average and the second-lowest in the district. In comparison, Cibolo Creek shows more balanced performance across subjects, with 74.68% of 5th graders proficient in math.

On a positive note, Herff invests heavily in its students, with per-student spending of $10,799 (2020-2021), the highest in the Boerne ISD cluster and notably more than Van Raub Elementary ($8,544) and Fair Oaks Ranch Elementary ($9,300). The school has also shown dramatic improvement in serving students from low socio-economic backgrounds, with their state ranking jumping from the 59th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 88th percentile in 2025-2026. While the Gifted and Talented program has seen volatile performance, and Spanish-language STAAR test results for a small number of students are very low, Herff’s overall strong literacy focus and recent equity gains make it a solid choice for families prioritizing early reading success.
