Hi All,

I just wanted to confirm that the best school districts in the San Antonio- New Braunfels Texas MSA are:

1. Bourne

2. Randolph

Lastly, are Alamo Heights and Falls City school districts within the San Antonio- New Braunfels Texas MSA? 

Thank you,

Jason

@Jason Malabute

Depending your investment strategy school district may be incidental.  I have never purchased a property because of the school district, nor have I ever decided not to purchase a property because of the school district.  Sure it's a factor, but a deal is a deal. If the price is right relative to my criteria (including school districts), then I pull the trigger. 

I agree with @Michael Guzik, the individual schools are definitely more important (at least to end buyer/tenant) than the district itself.  

As for Boerne ISD and Randolph Field ISD, you kinda picked some random ISDs.  Boerne is a rapidly growing and appreciating suburb is San Antonio.  There is a lot of money there and a lot more heading that way.  As you can imagine, where there's money, there's good schools.   There is no Randolph ISD, so I will assume you're asking about Randolph Field ISD?  This school district only serves students located on Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, which means it's extremely small. They do have a few students that are "non-resident" students, but it's not many, and I wouldn't base my investment strategy off of this ISD.  

Northside ISD is considered another good school district, and Northeast ISD has some good school in it.    Plenty of other good school districts. Even San Antonio ISD has some great magnet schools.  

Alamo Heights ISD is located in the San Antonio-New Braunfels MSA.  Falls City is located in Karnes County, and not considered part of the MSA.    

I hope this info helps.  Give a shout if your need more in depth info.
