Brenham High School had the highest enrollment among Washington County schools, welcoming 1,557 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 53.9% of them were boys, and 46.1% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Brenham High School students was white, accounting for 41.6% of the student population.

Among the 10 schools in Washington County, Brenham Junior High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 779 students, while Brenham Middle School welcomed 689 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Brenham High School is a part of Brenham ISD, which roughly covers schools within Washington County with its main office in Brenham.

In the previous school year, Brenham High School also had the highest number of students among Washington 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.
