Presidio County Education: Which school had most students enrolled in 2021-22 school year?

Presidio Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Presidio County schools, welcoming 432 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 53% of them were boys, and 47% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 98.4% of the Presidio Elementary School total enrollment.

Among the four schools in Presidio County, Presidio High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 391 students, while Marfa Schools welcomed 270 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Presidio Elementary School is a part of Presidio ISD, which roughly covers schools within Presidio County with its main office in Presidio.

In the previous school year, Presidio Elementary School also had the highest number of students among Presidio County schools.

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.
