Summary

New Braunfels High School in New Braunfels, TX, is a large, comprehensive high school serving 1,990 students in grades 9-12 within the New Braunfels Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top 23% of Texas. The school has earned a 4-star rating for five consecutive years, with a graduation rate consistently above 94% (reaching 96.9% in 2022-2023), and it stands out for its exceptional performance in Biology (81.5% proficiency) and English I (71.9% proficiency), significantly outpacing the state average and its closest neighbor, Canyon High School (75% and 64.8%, respectively).

One of the most notable strengths is the school's outstanding support for Special Education students, who ranked in the 81st percentile statewide in 2025-2026. However, the school shows an unusual inconsistency: while it serves Asian students exceptionally well (96th percentile, 5 stars), its Gifted and Talented program ranks only in the 35th percentile (2 stars), suggesting the program may not be as robust as others. Additionally, the school has experienced a dramatic anomaly in Algebra I and English I scores for the 2022-2023 school year (2% and 12% proficiency, respectively), which rebounded strongly by 2024-2025, indicating a possible data issue or cohort-specific challenge that has since been resolved.

Compared to nearby schools, New Braunfels High School offers a compelling middle ground. It outperforms Canyon High School (64th percentile) in overall state ranking (79th percentile) while spending less per student ($8,355 vs. $9,135), demonstrating strong cost-effectiveness. It falls short of the elite Memorial Early College High School (97th percentile, 5 stars) but far exceeds alternative schools like Trinity Charter Schools - Canyon Lake Campus and Premier H S Of New Braunfels. The school's main challenge is supporting its Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in only the 54th percentile, highlighting an area for continued improvement.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, October 5, 2012

New Braunfels High School is to old school. What I mean by that is they do not want to update, they do not want to improve any of the facilities (unless it is football) The auditorium is falling apart, the curtains are worn and ragged, none of the blinds on the school match while Comal schools on the other side of the town emphasize student quality and it shows, they have new and improved campuses, swimming pools at all high schools and put money into their students. New Braunfels won't let their teachers use paper and it is not to be more high tech it is just because they are plain to cheap. They have money in reserves but won't use it to improve the facilities. The education part is o.k. some teachers care - most don't - so just be selective on which teachers you get - there are a few that are really great but they are few and far between. The administration caters to hiring their friends instead of the most qualified individual so politics rule. Love the unicorn mascot - just sometimes feel we are in a nightmare instead of a fairytale. Wish we had selected a nice school in Comal or S.A. we moved to the town to raise our kids in a smaller town environment but sometimes the larger cities put more into their schools. Close Quote
