Summary:
This analysis examines three middle schools in zip code 78006 (Boerne, TX)—Boerne Middle South, Boerne Middle North, and Voss Middle—all serving grades 6-8 within the highly-ranked Boerne Independent School District (Isd), which is in the top 5% of Texas districts.
Boerne Middle South stands out for overall consistency, earning the highest recent state ranking (88th percentile) and a 5-star rating in two of the last three years. Voss Middle excels in 6th grade, posting the area's top Reading and Math scores, but experiences a sharp decline in 7th-grade Math (19.28% proficiency). Boerne Middle North shows a split profile: it has the lowest 7th-grade Math score (19.02%) yet achieved a perfect 100% proficiency in Algebra I and the highest 8th-grade Math score (70.07%). All three schools report a 0.0% dropout rate and dramatically outperform the state average in Algebra I, with Boerne Middle North leading at 100%.
A key takeaway is the universal "7th-grade Math slump," where all schools struggle, with Boerne Middle North and Voss Middle falling below the state average. Spending per student does not directly correlate with performance, as Boerne Middle North spends the most ($9,386/student) but has the lowest overall ranking, while Voss Middle spends the least ($8,860) and outperforms it in most metrics. State rankings for all three schools have slipped slightly over three years, suggesting other Texas schools are improving faster, a trend the district should monitor.
