Brownwood High School had the highest enrollment among Brown County schools, welcoming 971 students during the 2022-23 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51% of them were boys, and 49% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Brownwood High School students was white, accounting for 47.5% of the student population.

Among the 21 schools in Brown County, Coggin Intermediate School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 708 students, while Woodland Heights Elementary School welcomed 488 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

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

In the previous school year, Brownwood High School also had the highest number of students among Brown County schools.

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.
