This is an 11.8% decrease from the previous school year.
Of the 96,179 students enrolled in Cameron County schools, 7.4% of them were considered to be gifted and talented.
Cameron County enrolled the 14th highest number of gifted and talented students among Texas counties.
The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.
Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.
