Brown County schools enrolled 385 students who were identified as being gifted and talented during the 2021-2022 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

This is a 0.8% increase over the previous school year.

Of the 6,332 students enrolled in Brown County schools, 6.1% of them were considered to be gifted and talented.

Brown County enrolled the 87th highest number of gifted and talented students 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.
