Fort Stockton High School had the highest enrollment among Pecos County schools, welcoming 698 students during the 2022-23 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 54% of them were boys, and 46% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 89.5% of the Fort Stockton High School total enrollment.

Among the nine schools in Pecos County, Fort Stockton Middle School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 515 students, while Fort Stockton Apache Elementary School welcomed 333 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Fort Stockton High School is a part of Fort Stockton ISD, which roughly covers schools within Pecos County with its main office in Fort Stockton.

In the previous school year, Fort Stockton High School also had the highest number of students among Pecos 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.

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.
