Ft. Davis ISD had the highest enrollment among Jeff Davis County districts, welcoming 183 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, 53.6% of the students were girls, and 46.4% were boys.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 63.4% of the Ft. Davis ISD total enrollment.

Among the two districts in Jeff Davis County, Valentine ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 44 students in the 2022-23 school year.

Ft. Davis ISD roughly covers schools within Jeff Davis County with its main office in Ft. Davis.

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

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.
