Sudderth Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Ward County schools, welcoming 642 students during the 2022-23 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 50.2% of the students were girls, and 49.8% were boys.

Data also showed that the majority of students were Hispanic, representing 62.9% of the Sudderth Elementary School total enrollment.

Among the seven schools in Ward County, Monahans High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 609 students, while Walker Junior High School welcomed 354 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Sudderth Elementary School is a part of Monahans-Wickett-Pyote ISD, which roughly covers schools within Ward County with its main office in Monahans.

In the previous school year, Monahans High School had the highest number of students among Ward County schools.

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.

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.
