The school serves Kendall County and the surrounding areas of IH-10 such as Fair Oaks Ranch, Cordillerra, Bergheim and Sisterdale. Boerne is known for its academics and athletics.[citation needed]
Boerne scores higher than both state and national averages on every test, including the ACT and TAKS, specifically in the 2005-2006 year, when the school was "Recognized" for its performance on the TAKS test.
