Mccamey ISD had the highest enrollment among Upton County districts, welcoming 523 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 53.2% of the students were girls, and 46.8% were boys.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 75.1% of the Mccamey ISD total enrollment.

Among the two districts in Upton County, Rankin ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 312 students in the 2021-22 school year.

Mccamey ISD generally encompasses schools within Upton County with its main office in McCamey.

In the previous school year, Mccamey ISD had the highest number of students among Upton 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.

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.
