Four New Braunfels ISD schools earned A ratings and the district received a B in Texas’ 2026 accountability release, the district announced Friday.
NBISD families now have a districtwide grade and a count of A-rated schools to use when comparing the system’s latest state results. Those two figures move the local picture beyond the statewide release and give families a clearer starting point for evaluating the district.
NBISD’s announcement also says Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath visited Oak Run Middle School. The district presented the visit alongside its ratings news and attributed the results to academic growth.
What did NBISD’s local ratings release establish?
New Braunfels ISD says four schools earned A ratings and the district received a B in 2026. That is the strongest bounded answer in the district’s preserved announcement: one systemwide grade and a count of schools at the top letter grade.
Which four NBISD schools received A ratings? How did every school move from 2025 to 2026, and where will NBISD concentrate its improvement work? Those answers would show whether the district’s gains were broad or concentrated among particular schools.
The local announcement advances Comal.News’ earlier report that Texas had released its 2026 ratings and that local grades were available. It adds NBISD’s official district result and the count of A-rated schools without changing the status of the state’s published ratings.
NBISD published the announcement Aug. 14. The campus names, year-over-year comparisons and the district’s resulting improvement priorities remain the useful questions for the next update.
