The only school district in Kenedy County suffered declining enrollment in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

There were 98 students in the halls of Kenedy County Wide CSD schools, 3% lower than the year before.

Enrollment in Kenedy County fell short of the state’s trend compared to the state’s trend of increasing enrollment.

Out of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 53.1% of the students were girls, and 46.9% were boys.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 67.3% of the Kenedy County Wide CSD total enrollment.

Kenedy County Wide CSD has a main office in Sarita and is the only school district within Kenedy County.

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.
