School Districts Guide

The school districts behind a San Antonio or JBSA move.

In Texas, public schools are zoned by address. The district that serves a home, and the specific campus a student attends, are determined by the property's street address, not by the city or ZIP code. This guide covers the public school districts that serve Joint Base San Antonio and the Greater San Antonio area, with official Texas Education Agency ratings, campus counts, and the questions to ask when choosing an area.

Verify boundaries for any specific address

Texas school district boundaries and campus attendance zones are address-specific and change over time. Two homes in the same neighborhood, or even on the same street, can be served by different districts or campuses. Always confirm the district, the attendance zone, and the assigned campus for a specific property with the school district directly before relying on this information to make a decision.

How to verify and choose

Ratings reflect the 2025-26 accountability cycle released by the Texas Education Agency in August 2026. Campus counts come from Texas Education Agency data and are current as noted for each district. Letter ratings and campus counts change each cycle as new data is released.

The districts

Eight districts serving the JBSA and San Antonio area.

Each card shows the district's official TEA rating badge, campus count, and the area it serves. Every district page explains where the district is located and how to verify its boundary for a specific address.
