The only school district in Stephens County had rising enrollment in the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

There were 1,417 students in the halls of Breckenridge ISD schools, 1.1% higher than the year before.

Enrollment in Stephens County was steady compared to the state’s trend of increasing enrollment.

Out of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 52.9% of them were boys, and 47.1% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 57.4% of the Breckenridge ISD total enrollment.

Breckenridge ISD has a main office in Breckenridge and is the only school district within Stephens County.

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.
