Carson County: How many students were enrolled in Panhandle Elementary School in 2021-22 school year?

Panhandle Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Carson County schools, welcoming 314 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 51.6% of them were boys, and 48.4% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, representing 83.1% of the Panhandle Elementary School total enrollment.

Among the six schools in Carson County, White Deer Elementary School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 195 students, while Panhandle High School welcomed 183 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Panhandle Elementary School is a part of Panhandle ISD, which roughly covers schools within Carson County with its main office in Panhandle.

In the previous school year, Panhandle Elementary School also had the highest number of students among Carson County schools.

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.
