Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 61.8% of the Houston ISD total enrollment.
Among the 71 districts in Harris County, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 117,217 students, while Katy ISD welcomed 88,368 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.
Houston ISD generally encompasses schools within Harris County with its main office in Houston.

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.
Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.
“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students, dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools, gun violence, and mental health issues,” claimed the Texas Almanac.
