Of the 2,268 students enrolled in Dawson County schools, 73.8% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 4.3% decrease from the previous school year.
Dawson County enrolled the 111th lowest number of students identified as economically disadvantaged among Texas counties.
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.
