While the district generally outperforms the state, there are some areas for improvement, particularly in 3rd grade math and 5th grade science. Additionally, the district's alternative high school, The Nbisd Learning Center, has the lowest performance and ranking among the schools, though it still maintains a relatively high graduation rate of 91.2%. By identifying and replicating the practices of the top-performing schools, the New Braunfels ISD can work to improve outcomes across all its campuses.
