As someone who once went here I've heard they've added more rules a limitations. I also felt them applying rules and limiting me as time went on. I feel I had more freedoms my freshmen and sophomore year then my junior and senior which is backwards in my opinion because I have grown and become a more capable person and I deemed myself ready for more responsibilities and independence but when the time came they added rules I needed to follow which made me feel like I was just a number that needed to show up and be present rather then my own person, in some ways like most kids nowadays I could compare the school to a prison and myself to a prisoner. I will say it only felt like this my senior year because of the rules they added to limit our freedom.

My kids have attended two Boerne ISD elementary schools and two middle schools. We had overwhelmingly positive experiences at all of them. Outside of a few great teachers, I've been really disappointed in Champion. My kids have always liked school, but dread going there every day. Their biggest complaint is the way they are treated by the administration. They'll walk the long way to a class just to avoid APs. They feel like they're in trouble just for being there. I've always been a supporter of public education, but those vouchers are starting to look good.

We moved here for the schools and while I do like the fact that the school is not as large as San Antonio high schools, I feel as though the school has not learned how to handle the growth or the negative changes that face them. The education itself is not great. The teachers are hit or miss. Some really great and some just show up. The vaping is a big thing here and itÂ’s getting out of hand. Larger schools are able to manage this and fix it, yet this district cannot figure it out. The district still struggles with bus service due to lack of drivers and not enough parking for student drivers half the year. A lot of classes have been cut as well. Their business CTE program is lacking compared to what is offered in other districts. Both my teens struggle to find classes to fill their schedule and end up not getting their selected choice due to limited space. The classes offered seem great, just know they are not offered every semester or not at all

Hateful to all minority groups, snobby student, controlling parents over school, bad principal, over competitive, bathrooms are vape lounges, they only care about attendance so they get money, under funded art class and orchestra. If your Christian, white, male, wealthy, straight, cis, and in a respectable CTE course, youÂ’ll do good every one else is only hurt.

Both my kids went through the Boerne ISD school system. Cibilo Creek elementary was the only school we all liked.
Many of the teachers and staff have left because they could not stand it anymore from middle schools to Champion.
We have watched over the years as populations increase, quality decrease. They cannot handle nor were ready for the rapid
changes and growth. They put up a good front but behind the scenes its a failing system. Now that my kids are in college, we look
back and are so grateful we were there somwhat early before the rapid decline. I dont know how anyone gets to school/work on time
while kids suffer for it. I feel for all whom go attend now. Good luck!!

Competitive environment, and excellent AP/honors options. By and large excellent faculty. I appreciate that this school has been a launching pad toward an elite higher Ed institution for my kids. That said, results are slipping even with bonds passing and plenty of resources, and it is a failure of leadership that this is so. Perhaps it is because of a school board preoccupied with maintaining its quaint, small town values, manifesting in puritanical dress codes and anti-science. Or perhaps the board is just overmatched by the areaÂ’s rapid growth. Either way, the results are slipping, and not just at Champion.

Trying to be to modern while forgetting about basic values, this includes the children best interests, Somewhat of a hybrid meat grinder

Champion is a very good school with dedicated teachers. Counsellors are great and helped our children find the right college.

Very small town feel but large school resources. Excellent support from administration and counsellors, and have had numerous teachers who have gone the extra mile to work with my 4 kids there.

Very disappointed !!!! Everything mentioned I would agree with. Teachers don't really care, moral is bad, MAJOR bullies and the staff turns a blind eye. We are upper class but ARE RESPECTFUL! It is sad to say but tons of snotty kids who seem to think they are entitled. Don't even get me started on the drugs. We moved to Boerne 2 years ago and are glad to be leaving...The community is not open to new comers. Close knit cliquey community.

My son has spent four years at this school. He has never studied or cracked a book but has excellent grades. I feel he will be at a true disadvantage when it comes to college. The administration is more worried about micro managing all the ridiculous things like short skirts, facial hair and piercings instead of trying to take care of the big things like drug use and actually teaching. There are kids at the school that come high every day but they are more worried about attendance, and have you shaved? I find great irony in the have you shaved..when many of the teachers, male and female, could do with a little shave themselves. Who cares if you have a little stubble? The only reason they have academic ratings as high as they do is because all these kids come from intelligent, driven families so they are testing kids from the best families in Texas. Do yourself a favor and send your kids elsewhere.

This school is awesome if you are a wealthy white person who loves sports. If you do not fit this category, you will probably hate this school. If you don't fit in with everyone else, expect a great deal of bullying. The years I spent here were the worst four years of my life, and i am still trying to undo the psychological trauma it caused. If this doesn't sound like fun to you, go to Boerne High School where people suck less.

I feel the poor ratings of the school are misguided. I have three children in BISD. Two of them are at Champion High School. I have taught at two top rated high schools in San Antonio and been involved with The Woodlands schools north of Houston which are top rated. I feel that that Champion High School is an excellent atmosphere for children and is right up there with both the quality of Education and pleasant student body. The kids are polite, accepting, happy, goal oriented kids. Drugs are not prevalent nor accepted by the majority of the kids. Sure they may be some around but compared to other high schools, it is pristine and quite sheltered. If you want good education, students that excel and flourish, good student to teacher ratio with a small town atmosphere, Champion is the High School for you. PS as far as the parent who commented about the funds only going to football, we are trying to change that. Texas has this Robin Hood Rule that the "rich" schools take a portion of collected tax dollars collected and give to the "poor" schools. Boerne is tapped as a "rich" school and gives millions of dollars back to the state so that "poor" schools can have nice things.

We did our homework as to academics but made a big mistake. Should have sent our kids to the other high school in town. Many of the kids here are rude and privileged kids who are not open to new students. The social atmosphere at this school is terrible very mean spirited and downright ruthless. I have watched my kids who were social, happy, and popular become depressed and withdrawn. They tell me kids here are mean spirited and do really bad things. The drugs at this school are out of control as well as the bullying. The parents and counselors that I talk to just act like all is well! Beware....look at more than just academics...the other high school in town is supposedly much more friendly and accepting of new students. Do your homework...This school has been a huge disappointment and I have very unhappy kids.

I don't know how this school can get such high ratings. The teachers are bullies and yell at the children. The extra curricular programs are drastically underfunded, except football, which has all the money it needs. Drug use is rampant and always covered up somehow. Any student who needs extra help understanding a concept is left out in the cold except by a few thoughtful and caring teachers who go above and beyond.
