Howard County enrolled 5,358 students in the 2022-2023 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is 131 fewer than the year before.

Howard County was ranked 95th in enrollment 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.
