Norma Krueger El/bert Karrer Campus

Marion is a small, tight-knit community just east of New Braunfels in Guadalupe County, where the Hill Country starts to flatten out into ranching land and neighbors still know each other by name. Norma Krueger El/Bert Karrer Campus punches above its weight for a rural school, with science scores in particular standing out as a real strength. Families who want a quieter, small-town upbringing without straying too far from the San Antonio metro tend to find Marion a genuinely appealing place to put down roots.
