GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data.

I moved to La Vernia from San Antonio, which is only about 20 minutes from town and it was the best decision we have ever made. We used to live in a subdivision with a HOA which limited us to so much of we wanted to do in our home. We now live on 3 acres with 3 horses and can have as many animals as we want and basically do what we want without being told what we can and can not do on our property. Neighbors are very friendly and the area is serene and peaceful.

La Vernia has a small town feel, but still close enough to San Antonio. The schools are great and my children love the area.
