Out of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 51.9% of them were boys, and 48.1% were girls.
Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 97.4% of the Brooks County ISD total enrollment.
Brooks County ISD has a main office in Falfurrias and is the only school district within Brooks County.
Texas is found to be one of the least educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.
More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.
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.
