The only school district in Stephens County suffered declining enrollment in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

There were 1,409 students in the halls of Breckenridge ISD schools, 0.6% lower than the year before.

Enrollment in Stephens County fell short of the state’s trend compared to the state’s trend of increasing enrollment.

Out of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 52.5% of them were boys, and 47.5% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 56.5% of the Breckenridge ISD total enrollment.

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

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.

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.
