Private & church schools in Northwest: Medical Center, Leon Valley & UTSA
The South Texas Medical Center, Leon Valley, the UTSA area and Braun Station. Nearly all of it is Northside ISD, the district whose families held more TEFA accounts than any other in the region. We list 14 K-12 private schools here, and 12 of them were in the TEFA finder.
Where this comes from. TEFA participation is from the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), which we checked on October 11, 2026. Enrollment, teachers, religious orientation and associations are from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education) (2023-24, or 2021-22 where noted). Neither source reports tuition, so confirm tuition with the school.
