Brownsville ISD roughly covers schools within Cameron County and has a main office in Brownsville.

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.
