Amarillo High School had the highest enrollment among Randall County schools, welcoming 2,170 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, 51.5% of them were boys, and 48.5% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, representing 66% of the Amarillo High School total enrollment.

Among the 40 schools in Randall County, Caprock High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 2,090 students, while Randall High School welcomed 1,148 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

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

In the previous school year, Amarillo High School also had the highest number of students among Randall 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.
