Erath County schools enrolled 3,099 students who identified as economically disadvantaged in the state during the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 6,002 students enrolled in Erath County schools, 51.6% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 0.4% increase over the previous school year.

Erath County enrolled the 96th highest number of students identified as economically disadvantaged 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.
