Panhandle ISD had the highest enrollment among Carson County districts, welcoming 664 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 52.7% of them were boys, and 47.3% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 82.8% of the Panhandle ISD total enrollment.

Among the three districts in Carson County, White Deer ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 339 students, while Groom ISD welcomed 143 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Panhandle ISD generally encompasses schools within Carson County with its main office in Panhandle.

In the previous school year, Panhandle ISD had the highest number of students among Carson County districts.

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.
