Seminole ISD had the highest enrollment among Gaines County districts, welcoming 2,961 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, 52% of them were boys, and 48% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 55.3% of the Seminole ISD total enrollment.

Among the three districts in Gaines County, Seagraves ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 519 students, while Loop ISD welcomed 151 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Seminole ISD generally encompasses schools within Gaines County with its main office in Seminole.

In the previous school year, Seminole ISD had the highest number of students among Gaines 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.
