Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 52.7% of the Premier High Schools total enrollment.

Among the nine districts in Erath County, Stephenville ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 3,695 students, while Dublin ISD welcomed 1,089 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

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.
