The most represented ethnicity among Brownwood High School students was white, accounting for 47.2% of the student population.

Among the 21 schools in Brown County, Coggin Intermediate School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 702 students, while Brownwood Middle School welcomed 506 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Texas is found to be one of the least educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.

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.
