Randall County schools enrolled 10,196 students who identified as economically disadvantaged in the state during the 2021-22 school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

Of the 23,274 students enrolled in Randall County schools, 43.8% were considered economically disadvantaged. This is a 6.2% increase over the previous school year.

Randall County enrolled the 45th highest number of students identified as economically disadvantaged among Texas counties.

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.
