Education

Comal County and the City of New Braunfels have two school districts: New Braunfels ISD is primarily within the city limits and Comal Independent School District which spans 589 miles of central Texas, including parts of five central Texas counties: Comal, Bexar, Hays, Kendall, and Guadalupe.

CISD has 12 elementary schools, five middle schools, and three high schools in the district and is rated as a Recognized school district by the Texas Education Agency. NBISD has 11 total schools within the district and rated as an academically accepted school district.

To keep pace with the explosive population growth in the area, both CISD and NBISD have passed bond issues to build and expand schools, upgrade technology and purchase land for future schools. In 2005, CISD voters passed a $189-million bond issue followed by another bond in 2008 for $202.85 million to build three new elementary schools and expand the current middle and high schools. NBISD voters passed a $42 million bond package in May 2006 to address the current and projected student enrollment.
