There were 4,198 students in the halls of Andrews ISD schools, 1.2% higher than the year before.
Enrollment in Andrews County was steady compared to the state’s trend of increasing enrollment.
Out of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.5% of them were boys, and 48.5% were girls.
Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 70.0% of the Andrews ISD total enrollment.
Andrews ISD has a main office in Andrews and is the only school district within Andrews County.
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.
