Oldham County Schools: Wildorado School welcomed most students in 2021-22 school year

Wildorado School had the highest enrollment among Oldham County schools, welcoming 230 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, 52.2% of them were boys, and 47.8% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, representing 86.5% of the Wildorado School total enrollment.

Among the eight schools in Oldham County, Vega Elementary School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 131 students, while Vega High School welcomed 127 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Wildorado School is a part of Wildorado ISD, which roughly covers schools within Oldham County with its main office in Wildorado.

In the previous school year, Wildorado School also had the highest number of students among Oldham 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.
