Ft. Hancock ISD had the highest enrollment among Hudspeth County districts, welcoming 377 students during the 2022-23 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 52.3% of them were boys, and 47.7% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 96.3% of the Ft. Hancock ISD total enrollment.

Among the three districts in Hudspeth County, Sierra Blanca ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 116 students, while Dell City ISD welcomed 61 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Ft. Hancock ISD roughly covers schools within Hudspeth County with its main office in Ft. Hancock.

In the previous school year, Ft. Hancock ISD had the highest number of students among Hudspeth County districts.

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.
